Meaning & origin
Faizah is an Arabic feminine name meaning 'victorious.' It first appeared in U.S. records in 1981, but its usage has never been widespread. The name reached its peak popularity in 2019, and starting in 2018 it entered a period of decline, with fewer parents selecting it each year. As of 2025, the name ranks 13,208, and approximately 1 in every 267,878 newborn girls receives it. Faizah has no recorded top states of use, which reflects its rarity and scattered adoption across the country. The name appeals to families seeking a meaningful, culturally rooted name that remains distinctive.
Faizah derives from the Arabic root f-w-z, meaning 'to succeed, be victorious.' It is the feminine form of Faiz and shares lineage with Faiza, a name common across the Muslim world. The name has been used in South Asia, the Middle East, and among diaspora communities, though it remains relatively rare in the United States.
