Meaning & History

From Persian بنفشه‎ (banafsheh), meaning "violet flower", a small purple flower symbolizing modesty, hidden love, and elegance.
Also used in Arabic-influenced cultures, especially in South Asia (Urdu, Hindi) and Indonesia, often associated with gentle and poetic qualities.
In traditional herbal medicine, "banafsha" refers to a medicinal violet plant used for its soothing properties.

This name is rare but used across cultures influenced by Persian and Arabic, including Indonesia, where it is sometimes chosen for its soft, floral sound and peaceful meaning.
