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

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

Sifat comes from the Arabic root w-s-f, meaning "to describe." "Sifat Allah" refers to the attributes of Allah, a major topic in Islamic theology.

Reference Profile

Etymology

From the Arabic صفات (sifat), 'attributes, qualities' - a term in Islamic theology for the divine attributes of God.

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
