Alternate Spellings

Taqwa is a feminine title rich in history, originating from Quranic roots. It carries a divine connection, translating essentially to 'Piety, God-consciousness'. This bestows a sense of spiritual protection upon the bearer.

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

Taqwa comes from the Arabic root w-q-y, meaning “to protect” or “to guard.” It is translated as “God-consciousness” or “piety” - an awareness of Allah that guards a person from wrongdoing, described in the Quran as the true measure of honour among people (49:13).
