Hijab is a feminine title rich in history, originating from Quranic roots. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Veil, protection', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Quranic regions, Hijab has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Hijab comes from the Arabic root h-j-b, meaning “to veil” or screen. The word appears in the Quran (33:53, among other verses) for a covering or partition.
