In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Anabia (انابیہ) is a modern name used by Muslim families in Pakistan and India. It is not found as a word in Arabic dictionaries. Families usually explain it through Arabic anāba, which Lane's lexicon defines as turning back from disobedience to obedience to God, that is, repenting; its verbal noun is ināba. That link is a reasonable guess but not proven, so we list the name as having no dictionary source. Some websites call Anabia a door of Paradise; we found no basis for that claim. Name lists give the meaning as "one who turns to God".
