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

Pronounced as Salwa, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Salwa comes from the Arabic root s-l-w, meaning “quail.” The Quran (2:57) describes Allah sending down manna and quail (salwa) to sustain the Israelites in the desert.
