Humza

Humza is a masculine name of Arabic origin, derived from the name Hamza (حمزة). It honors Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib, the uncle and companion of the Prophet Muhammad, known for his bravery and strength. The name means 'strong' or 'steadfast' in Arabic. While traditional in Muslim communities, Humza has gained recognition beyond them, particularly in the United Kingdom and parts of South Asia. The alternative spelling with 'u' instead of 'a' is common in some regions, particularly Pakistan and among British South Asian communities. Humza carries positive associations of courage, loyalty and religious significance for many Muslim families, while also being accessible and pronounceable in Western contexts.

Pronounced HOOM-zuh.

As of October 2026, Humza ranked #3691 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1686 for boys in 2001.
