Taiba

Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Taiba: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2012.

Taiba is a name of Arabic origin, derived from "tayyib" meaning "good" or "pleasant," and is also associated with the feminine form of "Tayyib" in Islamic tradition. It is notably linked to the city of Medina in Saudi Arabia, often called Taiba as an alternative name. While not widely borne by historical figures, the name appears in contemporary contexts, such as Taiba Akhtar, a Pakistani politician, and the surname of several athletes. Its connection to a sacred city gives it a serene, positive resonance. Variants include Tayba and Tayyibah, and the name has seen modest use in Scotland, reflecting the country's multicultural naming landscape.
