Poonam is a proper noun, typically a female given name of Indian origin. It is pronounced as two syllables, with the stress on the first: POO-nam. The name blends the sounds of Urdu/Hindi roots commonly associated with moon-related meanings, but in practice it functions as a label for a person rather than a common noun. Accurate pronunciation hinges on clear vowel articulation and a light, unstressed second syllable.
