Meaning and origin of Mohinur
Mohinur brings together two words: Persian māh, the moon, and Arabic nūr, light. Put side by side they make a lovely picture of moonlight. Uzbek speech shifts the vowels of Persian Mahnur to give Mohinur, in the same way Mahlo became Mahliyo. The name feels fresh and modern in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, where moon names have long been favourites for daughters.
