    Meaning

    Afgaab derives from af ("mouth," "speech," or "language") and gaab ("short," "concise," "quiet"). The name means "laconic" or "a person with few words," describing someone naturally thoughtful, composed, and measured in speech and action. Afgaab reflects a person who speaks little, observes much, and embodies restraint, self-discipline, and quiet strength. It suggests someone who chooses words carefully, values silence, and possesses the wisdom to know when speaking is necessary. The name celebrates the virtue of thoughtful reserve and the power found in restraint, honoring those who lead through quiet example rather than loud pronouncement.
