Meaning & origin
Hebah is a direct transliteration of the Arabic word for 'gift,' a meaning found in names across many cultures. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1981, and its peak usage came in 1998, when 5 baby girls were given the name. Though it has never broken into the national top 1000, it has remained in consistent if minimal use, with a stable trajectory over the decades. The name is most common among families with Arabic heritage, reflecting a tradition of naming daughters with meaningful virtues. Its simplicity and lyrical sound make it a name that carries cultural depth without being widely familiar in the broader American context.
Hebah is an Arabic name directly derived from the word 'hibah' (هِبَة), meaning gift or present. It is used across the Arabic-speaking world as a feminine given name, often reflecting the parents' gratitude for the child as a divine gift. The spelling Hebah represents a common English transliteration of the Arabic pronunciation.
