Shenaz is a name of Persian origin, derived from "Shahnaz," meaning "pride of the king" or "the king's beloved." It is a feminine name popular in Persian, Urdu, and Bengali-speaking communities. One of its most famous bearers is Shenaz Treasurywala, an Indian actress, model, and travel vlogger known for her role in the Bollywood film *Ishq Kills* and her vibrant social media presence. The name shares its root with the Persian musical mode "Shahnaz," a classical *dastgah* (melodic system) in Iranian music. A notable variant is Shahnaz, which is more common in South Asia and Iran. While not directly tied to a specific place, the name's regal meaning has made it a popular choice for girls in families valuing elegance and cultural heritage.
