Meaning Arabic
وجيهة — بمعنى: مؤنَّث «وجيه»؛ أي الشريف المحترم المرموق
Vajiheh (وجیهه) reflects an Arabic lexical root 'wajīh' (وجيه) meaning 'honourable, eminent, of good repute'; the feminine form appears in Arabic as 'Wajiha/Wajeeha' and in Persian transliteration as Vajiheh. The name is historically attested in Persianate and Arabic-speaking Muslim contexts as a descriptor-turned-name; it is not a Qur'anic proper name but is based on classical Arabic vocabulary commonly found in literature and historical registers. Vajiheh belongs to the semantic family of respected or noble names and is closely related to names like [[Wajiha]] and [[Safiya]] that carry dignity and esteem. Usage is rare compared with mainstream names, appearing primarily in Persian and Iranian personal-naming records and some South Asian communities influenced by Persian orthography.
