Izza meaning
Izza (عزہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin.
Might, honour, glory; high rank, nobility
Also used to mean: dignity
Izza (عزہ) is Arabic ʿizza, from the root ʿ-z-z, which also gives al-ʿAzīz, "the Mighty", a name of God. Lane's lexicon defines ʿizz and ʿizza as might, power and strength, and as high rank, nobility and gloriousness, the opposite of lowliness. The Quran says that ʿizza belongs to God, His Messenger and the believers (63:8). Name lists give Izza as "honour", "dignity" or "glory". Some websites have claimed it means "slave girl"; that is a mistake with no basis in the dictionaries.
