Meaning and origin of Mehak
Mehak is the ordinary Urdu and Hindi word for fragrance, especially the sweet scent of flowers, and it is related to the verb mahakna, 'to give off a pleasant smell'. As a name it suggests someone whose presence is as pleasant as a fragrance that fills a room. Translations include 'fragrance', 'aroma' and 'sweet scent', and the nuance is always a gentle, pleasing smell rather than a strong one.
Mehak is written مہک in Urdu and महक in Hindi, and it is pronounced roughly MEH-hek, with a light h between the two syllables. Mahak follows the written form more closely, while Mehek and Mehk are other English spellings. The name has become very popular for girls in Pakistan and North India and is used by Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs alike, which reflects the shared vocabulary of the region. It is not Arabic, and it is not a Quranic word, but its meaning is wholly positive. Parents who want an Arabic name with a similar meaning often choose Abeer or Areej, both of which refer to fragrance.
