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

In Arabic culture, names are more than labels; they are prayers. Rauha is widely respected for its positive connotations. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.
