Capturing elegance and depth, Zulaikha stands out as a meaningful name for your daughter. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Brilliant beauty', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Malay regions, Zulaikha has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Zulaikha is the traditional name given by Islamic commentary literature to the wife of “the Aziz” in the story of Yusuf (Joseph), narrated in the Quran (12:23-34) without naming her directly in the text itself.
