Tanzeela meaning

Tanzeela (تنزیلہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin (Urdu usage).

(from tanzīl) sending down, revelation; the Quran

Also used to mean: sent down from above

Tanzeela (تنزیلہ) is a girls' name built on Arabic tanzīl, the verbal noun of nazzala, "to send down". Platts's Urdu dictionary gives tanzīl as causing a traveller to alight, receiving someone hospitably, and revelation, especially the Quran. The Quran often describes itself as tanzīl, "a revelation sent down from the Lord of the worlds" (for example 26:192). Name lists give Tanzeela as "revelation" or "sent down from above". The masculine Tanzeel is also used.
