Fozia

Girl name · 13 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Fozia: 13 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1978.

Of Arabic origin, Fozia is a feminine name meaning "successful" or "victorious," derived from the root *fawz* (triumph). It is widely used across Muslim communities, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East. Notable bearers include Fozia Saeed, the celebrated Pakistani actress and director, and Fozia Yasmin, a Scottish Labour Member of the Scottish Parliament for the Glasgow region since 2021—a contemporary figure connecting the name to modern Scotland. A common spelling variant is Fauzia. While no major places share the name, its uplifting meaning and cross-cultural reach give it a quietly optimistic feel.
