Nadir

Meaning of Nadir

Nadir comes from Arabic and Persian roots, meaning “rare” or “precious.” Parents in India and beyond love its simple sweetness and lyrical charm. It’s pronounced NAH-deer in Arabic and nah-DEER in Persian. This gentle name dances like a monsoon breeze and shines like a diya on Diwali night. In 2024 just 21 baby boys in the U.S. were named Nadir, placing it at #903 on the charts, so it remains a shining, offbeat choice. Each little Nadir feels like a hidden gem in a sea of ordinary stones. It’s perfect for families seeking a heartfelt, soulful name with a touch of poetic sparkle—and just enough playful twist to earn a few curious smiles at family gatherings.
