Faiza
Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Faiza: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2001.
With Arabic roots, Faiza is the feminine form of Faiz, meaning "successful" or "victorious"—a name that radiates quiet confidence. Notable bearers include Faiza Al-Kharafi, a pioneering Kuwaiti chemist who became the first woman to lead a Middle Eastern university, and Faiza Ahmed, a prominent Somali politician and former Minister of Women’s Affairs. While no specific places bear the name, its root shares a connection with the Arabic word for “triumph,” giving it a timelessly aspirational feel. In Scotland, Faiza has been chosen by families honouring Islamic heritage, and it also appears as Faizah or Fayza, each evoking the same elegant sense of achievement.
