Mehrnoush is Persian in Origin.
Mehrnoush is a Persian feminine name composed of Mehr and nush/noosh. Mehr, from Middle Persian Mihr and ultimately Avestan Mithra, carries senses of sun, love, affection, and covenant. Nush derives from Persian nushidan “to drink” and the noun nush “sweet, pleasant,” related to Middle Persian anōš “immortal.” Together, the name is interpreted as “sweet love,” “sweetness of the sun,” or, in a classical reading, “immortal love.”
The name has long currency in Iran and among Zoroastrian communities, and it saw renewed popularity in the 20th century as Iranian parents revived pre-Islamic elements in naming. Common transliterations include Mehrnoosh and Mehrnush; related forms are Nooshin/Noushin (“sweet”) and Mehrnaz (“grace of love”). Diminutives such as Mehr, Noosh, or Nooshi are used in families. Though firmly Persian, the name travels well in the diaspora, where its luminous, affectionate meaning is often highlighted.
