Nasreen: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1980.
Nasreen is a name of Persian and Arabic origin, meaning "wild rose" – a delicate, fragrant bloom revered across the Middle East and South Asia. It arrived in Scotland through immigration and cultural exchange, bringing a touch of global elegance to the roster of baby names. One of its most celebrated bearers is Nasreen Shah, the fictional protagonist of the critically acclaimed 2019 comedy-drama *Late Night*, portrayed by Mindy Kaling, which brought the name renewed attention. The name's rose connection also links it to the ancient city of Shiraz in Iran, famed for its rose gardens and poetry. A common variant you might encounter here is Nasrin, though the "een" spelling feels particularly lyrical and soft.
