Mannat is Persian, Urdu in Origin.
Mannat is a modern South Asian given name from Hindi–Urdu and Punjabi (मन्नत / منّت / ਮੰਨਤ), a devotional term borrowed via Persian from Arabic that denotes a vow, heartfelt wish, or prayer for a boon. It evokes practices such as tying threads at shrines or making an offering when a wish is fulfilled, so the name conveys devotion, hope, and the idea of a blessing granted. Usage is unisex but leans feminine in India and Pakistan.
As a personal name it surged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, spreading beyond Punjabi and Urdu-speaking communities and gaining visibility through Bollywood and popular culture (notably the name of Shah Rukh Khan’s residence, “Mannat”). Variant spellings include Manat and Minnat; related Punjabi formations sometimes append elements like -preet. Semantically akin names include Dua (“prayer”), Arzu (“desire”), Arman (“wish”), Ichha, and Prarthana.
