Nouhaila

A bright and elegant Arabic name, Nouhaila might be considered a variation (or elaboration) of Naila, meaning "gracious" or "successful, attainer", a spin on Nuha, meaning "wisdom", a form of Nour, meaning "little light"; an alternative form of Nourallah ("light of Allah"), or perhaps a variant of Nawal, meaning "gift".

A notable bearer is Moroccan football player, Nouhaila Benzima.

Pronounced noo-HYE-luh.
