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

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

Tahiyya, like Tahia, comes from the Arabic root h-y-y, “tahiyyah.” The Tashahhud prayer, recited in every unit of Salah, opens “At-tahiyyatu lillah,” greetings belong to Allah.
