Mahnaz (مهناز) combines the Persian mah (moon) and naz (delicate beauty, pride) — "proud as the moon." A widely beloved Iranian feminine name.
Used widely in modern Iran.
Mahnaz does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Mahnaz reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
