Muneeb meaning
Muneeb (منیب) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
Repenting, one who turns back to God
Also used to mean: one who turns to God, repentant
Muneeb (منیب) is the Arabic munīb, from anāba ilā Allāh, "to turn to God". Lane's lexicon defines munīb as repenting, one who turns back to God. The Quran describes Ibrahim in 11:75 as forbearing, tender-hearted and munīb, ever turning to his Lord. Lane notes other uses of the word too, such as copious, good rain. Name lists give the meaning as "one who turns to God" or "repentant", matching the dictionary. Munib is another spelling.
