Pure Desi names

99% of Pakistani names are either Arabic / Persian or have a component of these languages. Can you share some names of people, which are not Arabic / Persian and having no component from these languages.

I start : Murka ( Sindhi name for girls meaning smile, muskrahat :slight_smile: )
