Meaning Arabic
بشارة (بِشَارَة)
Naveeda is a historically attested feminine personal name derived from the Persian root نوید (navid) meaning 'good news' or 'glad tidings'. As a feminine form — rendered in South Asian orthographies as Naveeda, Navida or Naveedah — it appears in Persianate literary contexts and in onomastic records among Balochi- and Urdu-speaking Muslim communities. The semantic field aligns with words like 'basharah' (بشارة) in Arabic and 'khushkhabri/خوشخبری' in Urdu; in Persian and regional usage it connotes joy, auspicious news, or a bearer of good tidings. Naveeda is not a Quranic proper name but is fully acceptable in Islamic naming practice as it carries a positive, religiously neutral meaning and is attested historically in family records and poetry. Related and cognate names include [[Naveed]] (male form), [[Navid]] and [[Navida]]; these show the same Persian root across genders and regions.
