Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Nosheen: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1984.
Nosheen, of Persian origin, means “sweet” or “pleasant,” drawn from the word “noosh” signifying honey or delight. It is a lyrical name common across Iran, Pakistan, and India, and has gained modest recognition in Scotland through multicultural families. A notable bearer is Nosheen Iqbal, a British journalist and former arts editor of The Observer; another is Nosheen Ali, a Pakistani-American academic known for her work on education and ecology. The name’s variant spellings include Noshin and Noosheen, and while often feminine, it is considered unisex in some communities. For parents seeking a name that feels both melodic and globally connected, Nosheen offers a gentle, positive meaning that travels well
