Shifteh is Persian in Origin.
Shifteh (Persian: شیفته) is a Persian feminine given name taken from the common adjective shifteh, meaning "enamored, captivated, ardently devoted"; related shiftegi denotes "rapture" or "infatuation." The word is well attested in New Persian and classical verse, where it evokes the image of a passionate lover or one entranced by beauty, art, or faith.
As a personal name it has seen quiet but steady use in Iran from the 20th century onward and among the Iranian diaspora, appreciated for its romantic, lyrical tone. In the literary traditions of both Persian and Urdu, Shifteh also appears as a takhallus (poetic pen-name), which has contributed to occasional unisex perception; in South Asia the cognate form Shifta (Urdu: شفتہ) is found for men as well. Romanized variants include Shifte, Shefteh, and Šifteh; the name conveys warmth, devotion, and artistic sensitivity.
