With its Quranic roots, Ruh is a unique unisex choice carrying profound meaning. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Spirit, soul', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Ruh comes from the Arabic root r-w-h, meaning β€œspirit” or β€œsoul.” The Quran uses it to describe the angel Jibril as β€œRuh al-Amin,” the Trustworthy Spirit (26:193), and the divine spirit breathed into Adam (15:29).
