What kind of name is 'Sabih'? The last name is 'Pirzada'. And what about 'Shoib'?(a first name) I think these are Indian, but I am not sure | ||
pirada is a Persian name meaning "son of the holy man" but it may well be used in India (and Afghanistan etc) as well. It's most likely Muslim in any case, if that helps. A baby naming site says that Sabih is Arabic, meaning Handsome. I've never come across it in the Arab world. Any Muslim might have an Arabic name like that. Don't know shoib. It looks like it might be from the Arabic for youth. | 1 | |
Second thought. Shoib could be a spelling of the Arabic name that I would spell shuaib or shu'aib. Again any Muslim could have a name like that. | 2 | |
Typo in #1: pirzada. | 3 | |
Shuaib is a name of a prophet that is mentioned in the Qur'an. Hussein | 4 | |
Shoib looks almost Gaelic tae me. Siobhán (pr. shi'van) certainly is - a girl's name; English equivalent, Joan. | 5 | |
They are both from south asia.I just wanted to have an idea of where, without asking. Thanks all for responding. | 6 | |
