Meaning and history
Niloufar is a Persian feminine name meaning “water lily” or “lotus.” It appears in several transliterations, including Nilufar, Niloofar, and Nilüfer, as the name spread into neighbouring languages. The flower has literary associations with beauty and water, though those are cultural themes rather than separate translations. Notable bearers include Iranian conservationist Niloufar Bayani and Iranian futsal player and women’s-rights advocate Niloufar Ardalan. Persian script confirms the intended form.
