Name meaning and origin

Sharafat is a female name of Arabic origin, formed from the root "şərəf." The word's direct meaning is "honor, dignity, worth," and also "noble lineage, nobility." With this name, parents wish their daughter both inner purity and respect within society.

In Azerbaijan Sharafat belongs to the family of names born from the same root as Şərəf and Şərifə, which were more commonly used in the last century. It does not appear directly as a personal name in the Quran, but since the concept of 'honor' is highly valued in Islam, the name carries no religious prohibition.
