Alternate Spellings

The name Wajih is a classic masculine title rooted in Quranic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Noble', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Wajih comes from the Arabic root w-j-h, meaning "to be distinguished" or "honoured." The Quran (3:45) describes Isa (Jesus) as "wajihan," honoured, in this world and the next.
