Urdu is more than just a language it’s a cultural treasure, a bridge between poetry, history, and identity. Known for its lyrical tone and flowing script, Urdu captures emotions in ways that are impossible to replicate in other languages. This depth is especially meaningful when it comes to something as personal as a name.
Unfortunately, when many jewellery companies claim to offer “Urdu” name necklaces, what you often receive is not truly Urdu. They take Arabic fonts, force your name into them, and pass it off as “close enough.” But Urdu names and letters are not interchangeable with Arabic ones. The way a name is spelled and styled in Nastaliq script changes how it’s read, how it looks, and how it feels. As a Pakistani, woman-owned brand, we’ve made it our mission to ensure that your Urdu name is crafted authentically, respectfully, and beautifully, exactly as it should be.
1. The Beauty of Nastaliq for Names
The Nastaliq script is the true hallmark of Urdu calligraphy. Unlike Arabic scripts that use Naskh or simplified fonts with a rigid, linear structure, Nastaliq flows with diagonal strokes, giving words a cascading, artistic rhythm. When a name is written in Nastaliq, it looks like calligraphy, not just text.
This matters deeply for name jewellery. A name in Nastaliq doesn’t just spell out letters, it tells a story of culture, heritage, and individuality. Wearing your name in authentic Urdu script is like carrying a piece of your identity in a form that’s both intimate and visually stunning.
2. Why Arabic Fonts Can’t Do Justice to Urdu Names
While Urdu and Arabic share some letters, the scripts differ in both style and structure. One of the biggest issues we see is with names that end in “h” sounds, Arabic often renders these letters differently, altering their shape and balance. This can make the name look foreign to Urdu readers or even mispronounced.
Beyond specific letters, Arabic script is more upright and block-like, whereas Nastaliq uses fluid, sweeping curves and balanced spacing that give each name a distinctive personality. When an Arabic font is used for an Urdu name, the result often looks flat and generic, lacking the elegance of Urdu calligraphy.
We go beyond simply typing your name into a program. Every name is drawn carefully by someone who understands Urdu linguistics and calligraphy. This ensures that the final necklace is not just accurate in spelling but visually reflective of Urdu’s natural beauty.
3. Why We Care About Getting Names Right
A name is personal. It’s tied to family, history, and pride. For many of our customers, especially those in the diaspora, seeing their name in authentic Urdu script is an emotional experience. It’s not just jewellery, it’s a piece of identity made tangible.
As a Pakistani, woman-owned brand, we understand the cultural weight of names. We take care to ensure:
-
Accurate Urdu spelling, respecting the language’s unique letters and phonetics.
-
True Nastaliq script, hand-drawn and refined to ensure the flowing beauty is captured in metal.
-
Cultural representation, avoiding generic scripts that erase the individuality of Urdu.
We believe it would be a shame to overlook Urdu’s rich, poetic essence by using the wrong script. That’s why every Urdu name necklace we make is crafted with authenticity at the heart.
4. Urdu: A Language of Poetry and Personal Expression
Urdu is called the “language of poetry” for a reason—it’s expressive, romantic, and layered with meaning. When your name is written in Urdu, it inherits some of that same beauty and depth. It becomes more than just a name—it becomes art.
Our name necklaces aim to honour both your identity and the cultural beauty of Urdu. We’ve seen customers moved to tears when they see their name written correctly, often for the first time, in a way that feels both personal and deeply connected to their heritage.
