Wajīhah

Wajīhah (Arabic: وَجِيهَة) is the feminine adjective from the Arabic root وَجَه (w-j-h) which semantically covers face, presence, rank and reputation; as a given name it means 'distinguished', 'eminent' or 'of good repute'. The masculine form Wajīh/Wajih and feminine Wajīhah appear in medieval Arabic literature and in naming practice; in South Asia the forms Wajeeha or Wajiha are used within Sindhi and Bengali Muslim families as a less common, dignified choice. Wajīhah carries connotations of social honor and moral standing rather than botanical imagery, and it is linguistically related to names like [[Wajida]] and [[Wajeeha]]. While not cited in the Qur'an as a proper name, the root is attested in classical lexica and poetry where it denotes prestige. Contemporary use remains rare; families may choose Wajīhah to signal dignity, respectable bearing, and a connection to traditional Arabic lexical virtues.
