What is the meaning of the name Shabnaam ?

The baby name Shabnaam is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced shab-NAHM (IPA: /ʃæbˈnɑːm/).

Shabnaam is Persian in Origin.

Shabnaam is a feminine name of Persian origin meaning “dew,” from shab “night” + nam “moisture.” The spelling with a double a is a South Asian transliteration choice that sometimes reflects a lengthened second vowel; Shabnam is the most common form in Persian and Urdu. The image of night-dew carries poetic associations of freshness, purity, and ephemerality. Adapted forms appear across languages, notably Turkish Şebnem and Azerbaijani Şəbnəm, alongside occasional English spellings such as Shabnem.

Documented in Persianate literature and Sufi verse, the name gained steady given-name use across Iran, Central and South Asia, and diaspora. Its modern visibility owes much to Urdu poetry and South Asian cinema; Pakistani film star Shabnam and Turkish singer Şebnem Ferah are notable bearers. Variants and related forms include Shabnam (standard), Shabnaam (this spelling), Shabnem, Şebnem, and Şəbnəm. Predominantly feminine, the name evokes delicate beauty and the transient radiance of morning dew.
