Tayyibah

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tayyibah: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1990.

Tayyibah is a feminine name of Arabic origin, derived from the root “ṭ-y-b,” which conveys meanings of goodness, purity, and pleasantness—essentially, a woman who is wholesome and kind. While it may not be widely associated with famous historical figures in the English-speaking world, it is a cherished name across Muslim communities, reflecting spiritual virtue. The name shares its root with the word “tayyib,” meaning “good” or “lawful,” and appears in variations such as Tayyiba or the place-name Taybah, referring to a region in Saudi Arabia. Its melodic sound and uplifting meaning have made it a consistent choice for families valuing tradition and positivity, though it remains relatively rare in Scotland, where it is used in honour of diverse cultural heritage rather than local prominence.
