Hiba is a short, bright Arabic name meaning "gift". It comes from the verb wahaba, "to give", so the name carries the idea of something freely given — a child seen as a gift. It is used across the Arabic-speaking world, in Somalia (as Hibo) and in Egypt (often spelled Heba), and today well beyond, from France to North America.
Roots
From the Arabic root w-h-b (wahaba, "to give"); Wehr, Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic, p. 1291. Related names: Wahba, Wahib.
