Nawab, of Arabic origin, is a unisex given name that translates to 'prince' or 'king'. It is often used as a title and an honorific in South Asian countries like India and Pakistan. The name gained popularity due to its association with the Mughal Empire, where it was used by numerous nobles and rulers. Today, Nawab is also used as a given name, particularly among Muslim families who appreciate its regal connotations.
"In recent years, the name Nawab has seen a slight decline in popularity, with births dropping from 11 in 2022 to 7 in 2023. Overall, there were 18 babies named Nawab during these two years."
