Effat is a beautiful and unique name of Arabic origin, primarily given to females. Pronounced as eh-FAT (/ɛˈfæt/), the name carries connotations of purity, chastity, and virtue in Arabic culture. While not widely common in the United States, Effat has seen a modest number of occurrences, with 8 newborns named Effat in 2023 and 7 in 2022. This rarity adds to its charm for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child. A popular variation of Effat is Effie, which offers a more familiar yet equally charming alternative.
Effat Moridi, also known as Mother Moeini, was a prominent figure among the Mothers of Khavaran in Iran, advocating for justice for victims of mass executions in the 1980s. |
