Laaibah

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Laaibah: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2007.

Laaibah is a name of Arabic origin, derived from the root word meaning "beautiful" or "elegant," often associated with grace and charm. It is a variant spelling of Laiba, a name that has grown in popularity among Muslim families for its soft sound and positive meaning. While no famous historical bearers are widely recorded, the name carries a gentle, modern appeal and is sometimes linked to the concept of beauty in Islamic poetry. No major places share its root, but its melodic quality makes it a favourite in contemporary Scottish naming lists, reflecting the country's rich multicultural tapestry. A notable variant is Laiba, which shares the same meaning and is equally cherished.
