Quite right. Safiya is an Arabic name meaning 'in good health'.

I have a dear friend named Safia (spelled w/o the y) and she has never had a problem with her name sounding racist. I think it is a lovely name and a creative alternative to the popular Sofia.

Safiya is Arabic. Saying Safiya is Egyptian is like saying Chloe is Australian.
KJGlitter Says:
Not racist :) Safiya may sound a bit like Sophia with an accent to some people, but it has nothing to do with race. Pretty name, though.

It's Egyptian. So... not saying your comment is a little racist but.

This sounds like Sofia with some sort of accent. Not a fan.
