Meaning & origin
Nisreen, a name of Arabic origin meaning a white wildflower, entered U.S. records in 1977 and has seen moderate but consistent use. It reached its highest rank of 11,932 in 2025, with a peak in 2005, maintaining a stable trajectory over recent decades. The name is chosen by families valuing floral and nature-inspired names with cultural resonance, and it remains most common in communities with Arabic heritage. With usage spread broadly rather than concentrated in a few states, Nisreen reflects a cross-cultural appeal without regional dominance.
Nisreen is derived from the Arabic word نسرين (nisrīn), referring to a white wild rose or a type of narcissus flower. It has been used as a feminine given name across the Arabic-speaking world, particularly in the Levant and Egypt, and gained popularity in the late 20th century.
