Labeeb meaning
Labeeb (لبیب) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
A person of understanding or intelligence
Also used to mean: intelligent, wise
Labeeb (لبیب) is the Arabic labīb, "a person of understanding or intelligence", as Lane's lexicon defines it. It comes from lubb, which Lane explains as the kernel or heart of a nut and, from that, the best part of anything and a person's intellect or mind, so labīb describes someone with a sound core of understanding. Name lists give the meaning as "intelligent" or "wise", matching the dictionary. The word labīb does not occur in the Quran, but the phrase ulu al-albāb, "people of understanding", built on the plural of lubb, appears there many times.
