Shaghayegh

Shaghayegh شَغَيَغ is a girl name meaning “a flower (poppy).” With roots in both Arabic and Persian traditions, this name reflects a broad cultural tapestry. It comes from the Arabic root ص-ل-ح (s-l-h), denoting righteousness/goodness. Connected to the natural world, it celebrates the beauty of creation.

Its Persian heritage lends a poetic, lyrical quality often found in Persianate naming traditions. In the Islamic tradition of naming, this choice is both a blessing and an aspiration for the child. Muslim families treasure this name for its deep cultural and spiritual significance.
