Full Meaning of Shaahbaaz

Shaahbaaz is a Farsi and Urdu name for boys that refers to a type of eagle, the Eastern Imperial Eagle. It is short for Shah baz, Shah means king and baz means eagle, so the literal meaning is “King of the Eagles” or “the King’s Eagle”. You can pronounce it either with an “h” as in Shaahbaaz or without it, like Shabaz. It is not a Quranic or Arabic word, but since the meaning is good Muslims can use it.
