Reference Profile

Etymology

The plural of atifa, from the Arabic root ع-ط-ف (ʿ-ṭ-f, 'to incline toward'). Awatef means 'emotions, feelings.'

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.

Cultural / Regional Usage

Used across the Muslim world, particularly as a girl's name.
