Niloo is from the Persian نیلو (Nīlū) — diminutive of Niloofar (نیلوفر — lotus, water lily) — from Sanskrit nīlotpala (blue lotus). Niloo is one of the Persian feminine diminutive names — central to traditional Persian floral-aesthetic heritage. The Persian niloofar (lotus) is central to Persian + Sufi poetry symbolism Zoroastrian sacred floral tradition.
