Capturing elegance and depth, Marwa stands out as a meaningful name for your daughter. The name holds the profound meaning of 'White stone; Mountain in Mecca', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Marwa is one of two hills named in the Quran (2:158) alongside Safa as “among the symbols of Allah.” Pilgrims walk between Safa and Marwa seven times during the sa'i rite of Hajj and Umrah, commemorating Hajar's search for water for her infant son Ismail.
