Muneeba meaning
Muneeba (منیبہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin (Urdu usage).
One who turns (in repentance) to God (feminine of munīb)
Also used to mean: one who turns to God, repentant
Muneeba (منیبہ) is the feminine of the Arabic munīb, from the root n-w-b, "to come back, to return". Lane's lexicon gives munīb, from the phrase anāba ilā Allāh, as one who turns to God in repentance, and also notes a rarer sense of abundant rain. The Quran praises Abraham as "forbearing, tender-hearted, ever turning to God" (11:75) and speaks of coming before God "with a heart that turns to Him" (50:33). Name lists give Muneeba as "one who turns to God" or "repentant", matching the dictionary. It is the female counterpart of Muneeb.
