Hormat is Persian, Urdu in Origin.
Hormat is a unisex virtue name meaning “respect, honor, sanctity, reverence.” It descends from the Arabic root ḥ-r-m (ḥurma/ḥurmah “sacredness, inviolability”), transmitted into Persian as hurmat (حرمت) and into Turkic languages via Ottoman Turkish hürmet. The spelling Hormat is standard in Central Asian Turkic contexts and in Malay/Indonesian orthography, where the word hormat means “respect,” though it is rarer there as a given name. As a personal name it appears across Persianate and Turkic cultures and among Urdu speakers, often with a slight feminine tilt but used for all genders.
Usage reflects Islamic-era naming that elevates moral qualities. In Central Asia (Uzbek, Tajik, Turkmen), Hormat/Hurmat has been steady from the 20th century onward, while Turkish records favor the form Hürmet. Related variants include Hurmat, Hürmet, and Kazakh Kurmet/Qurmet; theophoric compounds such as Hurmatullo/Hurmatullah also occur.
Hormat is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 23 times, across 7 countries.
