Nusaiba meaning
Nusaiba (نسیبہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin.
(root n-s-b) related by kinship; of good family and lineage
Also used to mean: noble, of good lineage, fitting
Nusaiba (نسیبہ) is an old Arabic name made from the root n-s-b, which concerns lineage and kinship; the name has the shape of a diminutive. Lane's lexicon gives nasīb as a relation or kinsman, and also a person of rank and of good family. Name lists give Nusaiba as "noble" or "of good lineage", which follows the root. The name honours Nusayba bint Kaʿb, also called Umm ʿUmāra, a woman of Medina who fought to defend the Prophet at the Battle of Uhud.
