Mehriban is Persian, Turkish in Origin.
Mehriban is the Azerbaijani and Turkish feminine use of Persian مهربان, transliterated mehrabān in New Persian. The word joins mehr, love, affection, ultimately connected with Middle Persian mihr and older Iranian mithra, to the suffixal noun bān, keeper or guardian, from Iranian pān. Its literal sense is a person who keeps or bears affection, hence kind, gracious, or compassionate.
In Azerbaijan the name is written Mehriban in ordinary Latin script, with dotted İ in uppercase/lowercase orthography as MEHRİBAN/mehriban. It is also familiar in Turkish and other Persian-influenced Muslim naming cultures, though less common in Western Europe and North America. Public recognition outside the region is helped by Mehriban Aliyeva, first lady and vice president of Azerbaijan. Persian spelling favors Mehraban or Mehrabān, while Azerbaijani phonology gives the i-vowel form.
