Razia

Meaning of Razia

Razia, pronounced rah-ZEE-uh, is a luminous Arabic name meaning “contentment” or “satisfaction,” evoking a sense of calm confidence that feels both timeless and refreshingly rare. Its most famous bearer, Razia Sultana—the first and only woman to rule the Delhi Sultanate in the 13th century—imbues the name with a spirit of courage and grace. In the United States, fewer than a dozen baby girls are given the name each year, giving Razia the charm of a hidden gem in a world of familiar favorites. Think of it as a gentle invitation to embrace joy in simplicity—a name that whispers strength, warmth, and an enduring promise of quiet leadership.
