Maleeha

Maleeha is a feminine name of Arabic origin meaning 'beautiful' or 'pretty.' The name derives from the Arabic root 'm-l-h' which is associated with beauty, elegance, and grace. Pronounced mah-LEE-ha, this melodic name is used primarily in Muslim communities throughout the Middle East, South Asia, and in diaspora populations worldwide. Maleeha carries spiritual significance for many families, as beauty in Islamic tradition often connotes both physical and inner spiritual beauty. While not among the most common Arabic names in Western countries, Maleeha has gained recognition as global naming patterns have diversified. The name offers parents a meaningful choice that connects to Islamic heritage while being relatively accessible in pronunciation for non-Arabic speakers, though spelling variations may occur.

Pronounced muh-LEE-huh.
