Fariha

Meaning of Fariha

With its melodic lilt and sunshine meaning, Fariha traces back to Arabic and Urdu origins—pronounced fah-REE-hah or fuh-REE-hah—where it literally means “happy” or “joyful.” The name wraps its bearer in warmth like a golden morning, hints at laughter dancing on a gentle breeze, and promises a timeless elegance while inspiring more smiles than a surprise puppy cameo. Though still a rare gem in the U.S. charts (hovering in the 900s in recent years), Fariha is steadily climbing as parents seek choices that blend rich cultural heritage with contemporary charm. For parents dreaming of a name that sparkles with optimism and invites smiles at every turn, Fariha offers the perfect heartbeat to a little girl’s story.
