Ruquaiya

Ruquaiya رُقُيَة is a girl name meaning “Gentle, name of the daughter of the Prophet.” This Arabic name is steeped in rich linguistic heritage. It comes from the Arabic root ر-ق-ي (r-q-y), denoting ascent/progress. Symbolizing kindness and mercy, it represents the softer virtues of faith.

Parents choosing this name express a heartfelt prayer for their daughter’s noble character and blessed future. Muslim parents select this name as a du’a (prayer) for their child to live by its noble meaning.
