Iftikhar for girls
A unisex Arabic name, Iktikhar is used as a predominantly feminine name in Iraq and Afghanistan, but as a masculine choice in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Similar in sound to options such as Isra, Idrissa, and Ilyana, it is a name that can be viewed in two different ways.
A more positive spin on the name is that means "beauty", "magnificence", and "stateliness", though it could equally be interpreted as meaning "to brag", "pride", "haughtiness" and "vanity".
