Hiba

Hiba is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, meaning "gift". It derives from the Arabic root wahaba (to give), and is closely related to the masculine name Hibah. The name reflects the cultural value of gifting and generosity in Arabic-speaking societies, where it is commonly used to signify a child as a precious gift from God.

Variants include Heba, which is a common alternate transliteration, particularly in Egyptian and Levantine contexts. In Somali-speaking cultures, the form Hibo is used, carrying the same meaning.
