Graceful and timeless, the name Roha is a beautiful choice for a baby girl. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Soul', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Roha comes from the Arabic root r-w-h, the same root behind "ruh" (soul, spirit), used throughout the Quran, e.g. 15:29, 17:85.
