Description:

I checked many idiom dictionaries, but found nothing using this name.

This name, of Persian origin, means "world-ornament." Its linked to a powerful historical woman and a mother goddess, a revered figure. A related deity, perhaps a consort, is also part of the same group of gods. Celebrations for this goddess are lively and colorful, full of parades, music, and dancing.

But we can play with it. Adding "Begum," a historical title, gives you Jahanara Begum. Or, for shorter versions, theres Jana, Jara, or Ara – each capturing a bit of its essence.
