Help[Facts] Re: Origin of Tanveer
in reply to a message by ajay rawat
I'd guess it was originally Arabic - a lot of Indian and Pakistani names are Arabic in origin because of Arabic settlement in those countries (and a major invasion of Pakistan in the 8th century). Everything I could find on Tanveer/Tanvir/Tanweer said it was Arabic and meant 'rays of light'. I can't search in Hindi though! - so maybe someone else can?
