Nabiha

Nabiha meaning

Nabiha (نبیہہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin.

Eminent, celebrated, well known; (root) alert, attentive

Also used to mean: intelligent, noble

Nabiha (نبیہہ) is the feminine of Arabic nabīh, from the root n-b-h. Lane's lexicon defines nabīh as eminent, celebrated or well known, and the verbs of the same root mean to become aware of a thing, to have one's attention roused, and to become watchful. Name lists usually give Nabiha as "intelligent" or "noble". "Noble" echoes the dictionary's "eminent", while "intelligent" comes from the root's sense of alertness rather than from nabīh itself. The name is used by Muslim families in India and across the Arab world.
