Shabnam (شبنم) combines the Persian shab (night) and nam (moisture) — meaning "morning dew" or "night-moisture." The image of dew at dawn is beloved in Persian and Urdu poetry.
Shabnam is widely used across Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Shabnam 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 Shabnam reduce to 4, The Builder. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
