Abiha

Girl name · 18 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Abiha: 18 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2015.

Abiha is a beautiful name of Arabic origin, meaning "father of fragrance" or "father of a perfumed one," derived from the elements 'abi' (father) and 'ha' (fragrance). It is a feminine name that celebrates a connection to sweetness and pleasant scent. While historical records don't list famous bearers widely known in the West, it is a name that carries deep spiritual weight in Islamic tradition, as it is sometimes used as a variant or affectionate reference connected to the name Aminah, the mother of the Prophet Muhammad. There are no direct place connections, though the shared root 'ha' appears in many Arabic names and places meaning 'fragrant.' The name remains relatively rare in Scotland but has grown in popularity among families celebrating South Asian and Middle Eastern heritage.
