Niloofar (نیلوفر) is the Persian word for "lotus" or "water lily" — a flower of profound symbolism in Persian poetry and culture, representing purity rising from murky waters.
Niloofar is widely used in modern Iran.
Niloofar 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 Niloofar reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
