Tauseef meaning

Tauseef (توصیف) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.

Describing; a description, qualification; commendation, praise

Tauseef (توصیف) is the Arabic tawṣīf, the verbal noun of waṣṣafa, "to describe", from the root w-ṣ-f, which also gives ṣifa, "quality, attribute", and the name Wasif. Steingass gives tauṣīf as describing or characterizing, a description or qualification, and also commendation or praise; in Urdu it is often used for praising someone's good qualities. Name lists give "praise" or "describing good qualities", matching the dictionary.
