Re: Gul Khan , Gul Bibi
There are quite a few flower related names in Pashto, such as:
Banafsha بنفشه (violet as in the flower, not the colour) Senzela سينزله (refers to a specific type of flower) Ghatola غټوله (tulip) Shastai شاستئي (chrysanthemum) Ghotai غوټې (flower bud)
What is the reason of such flowery name?
Re: Gul Khan , Gul Bibi
Rani

I'm not certain why we have so many flower related names. I just thought of a few more actually:
Reday ړيدې (poppy)
Gedi ګېډئ (bunch of flowers)
Babrak بابرک (flower)
Ghatool غټول (tulip)
Gulab ګلاب (rose)
Come to think of it, we seem to have loads of plant related names.

Rani
raat ki Rani is flower. Aren't there any typical Punjabi flower names which are also used for humans? Like I gave an example of Raabel in Sindh

What about Gul e Laala which is normally shorten to Laalai?
Re: Gul Khan , Gul Bibi
- Gulabo
or Gulaab jaana
Firdous means garden (as well paradise), does that count? Instead of a flower, you have the entire garden, I think it should count.

That's interesting. Warda (spelled ورده in Pashto) means rose in Pashto as well. Another name that means rose is the Dari/Persian name Nasrin نسرین. It specifically means "wild rose." The name Nilofer/Niloofar نیلوفر is also flower related. It means "water lilly" in Dari/Persian.

May be we should open a thread on 'Arabic influence on local langauge' to discover words which are Arabic , but with the passage of time and variation in accent they can't be recognised as Arabic
