Etymology

Borrowed from Urdu ماہ‌جبیں (māh-jabī̃), from Classical Persian مَاه‌جَبِین (māh-jabīn, literally “moon-like forehead”), from Classical Persian ماه (māh, “moon”) + Arabic جبين (jabīn, “forehead”). The intial e-vowel forms may be via an intermediate Hindustani مہ‌جبین / महजबीन (mah-jabīn​), which often vocalizes the cluster ah as êh.
