Ashraqat Origin and Meaning

The name Ashraqat is a girl's name meaning "splendour, dawned, brightness".

A Top 10 name in Egypt, this bright and shining name derives from the Arabic root sharaqa meaning "to shine, to rise". Rarely used before the late 90s, it was then featured on an Egyptian soap opera called Bawabat Al-Halawani which subsequently propelled it into the spotlight.
