Meaning and origin of Freshta
Freshta is what Afghans call the angel, a shortened form of the Persian fereshteh. Everyday Dari and Pashto drop the first vowel, which produces the compact two-syllable name. Afghan parents choose it for daughters more than almost any other Persian word name. The word itself is Persian, but its meaning calls to mind the angels, and belief in angels is one of the articles of Islamic faith.
