What People Usually Mean by This Name
From Persian-Tajik mohi (مه) meaning moon and Arabic nūr (نور) meaning light, together: 'the moon's light' or 'moonlight'. A fully Islamic compound, since nūr is one of Allah's ninety-nine names: 'Allāh is the Light of the heavens and the earth' (24:35). The light spoken of here is not the moon's borrowed reflection but a sign, āyah, through which the Uzbek tradition has long named its daughters.
One of the most beloved girls' names in Uzbekistan and across Central Asia, used widely also in Tajikistan and the Uzbek diaspora in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey. Mohinur Abdurakhimova, the celebrated Uzbek soprano, helped carry the name into modern public life. The name often shortens affectionately to Mohi or Nur in family use.
Variants: Mahinur, Mahinoor, Mohinoor. Compare Nur, Mahnoor, Noora, names that share the same light.
