Meaning & origin
Soliha is a rare Arabic-derived name that entered the U.S. naming scene in 2015, ranking 9,457 in 2025 with approximately 1 in 160,727 girls receiving the name that year. Its peak popularity occurred in 2021, but since 2022 it has been on a declining trajectory. The name does not show significant regional clustering, with no top states recorded. Its modern emergence and modest usage suggest it appeals to families seeking a distinctly virtuous name with clear Arabic roots, though it remains uncommon even among similar names.
Soliha likely originates from the Arabic feminine adjective 'ṣāliḥah' (صَالِحَة), meaning 'pious' or 'virtuous'. It is a relatively modern coinage, first recorded in the United States in 2015, and may reflect a cultural adaptation of the more common name Salihah. The name has seen modest use since the 2010s, particularly among families with Arabic-speaking heritage.
