Noshin (Persian: نوشین) is a feminine name of Persian origin, built on nūš/nosh, a word denoting “sweetness,” “delight,” and “to drink, relish,” plus the adjectival -īn ending. It conveys senses such as “sweet, pleasant, delightful,” and by extension “one who brings joy.” The name overlaps semantically with fellow Persian favorite Shirin (“sweet”) and appears in poetic imagery of nectar, pleasant temperament, and agreeable speech.

Used in Iran and neighboring Persian-speaking regions for generations, Noshin spread widely into South Asia through Persianate literary and courtly culture, becoming established in Urdu- and Bengali-speaking Muslim communities. Common transliterations include Noushin, Nooshin, Nowshin, Naushin, Nowsheen, Nausheen, and Nousheen; the affectionate short form Noushi/Nooshi also occurs. While predominantly feminine, it is occasionally unisex in modern usage. The name remains familiar across Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and diaspora communities.
