Meaning & origin

Nesreen, a name of Arabic and Persian origin meaning 'wild rose,' entered U.S. records in 1978 but has never ranked in the top 1000. Its peak year was 1992, and since then usage has remained stable. The name carries a floral elegance that appeals to families with Middle Eastern heritage or those seeking a distinctive, melodic choice. Without any top states concentrating its usage, Nesreen remains a geographically scattered but quietly enduring name.

Nesreen is derived from the Persian word 'nasrin' (نسترن), meaning 'wild rose' or 'sweetbrier.' The name entered Arabic usage as a feminine given name, particularly common in the Levant and North Africa. It has been steadily used since the late 20th century, often chosen for its floral imagery and melodic sound.
