The baby name Sadaf is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced sah-DAHF.
Sadaf is Arabic, Persian, Urdu in Origin.
Sadaf is a feminine name from Arabic صدف, transliterated ṣadaf, a Classical Arabic noun for a shell, especially the shell of a pearl oyster or mother-of-pearl. It belongs to the consonantal root ṣ-d-f, whose verbal senses include turning aside; as a noun it also appears for a side, edge, or mountain face, but the naming sense is the marine one.
The name is at home in Persian, Urdu, and South Asian Muslim usage, where صدف is familiar from poetry and everyday vocabulary as well as personal naming. Persian literary convention often sets the shell beside the pearl, so Sadaf can carry associations from mystical and lyric verse without being tied to a single saint or scriptural figure. Turkish uses the cognate form Sedef. In the United States it has remained rare, appearing mainly in records from the late twentieth century onward.
