Huzaifa
Boy name · 14 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Huzaifa: 14 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2020.
The name Huzaifa is of Arabic origin, and it means “little treasure” or “one who chooses the truth.” Its most famous bearer is Huzaifa ibn al-Yaman, a close companion of the Prophet Muhammad, renowned in Islamic history as the keeper of the Prophet’s secrets and a trusted confidant in spiritual matters. There are no major geographical places named after Huzaifa, nor a Scottish place sharing its etymological root. As a variant, you may encounter the spelling Huzayfa or Huzefa, common across the Muslim world. The name has seen modest use in Scottish baby registries since the 1990s, reflecting Scotland’s growing multicultural diversity and the influence of families from South Asian and Middle Eastern communities.
