Name meaning and origin
Saba is a name of Arabic origin and means 'a gentle, soft morning breeze, a cool wind blowing from the east'. In classical Arabic and Persian poetry, the morning breeze is regarded as a symbol of delicacy, renewal, and love, because it blows softly and pleasantly. Tied to this poetic image, the name carries a sense of gentleness and freshness.
Saba is also the name of the ancient state Saba (Sheba) that once existed in southern Arabia; there is even a Quranic surah named after this state. However, as a girl name, Saba is used with the meaning 'meh' and does not appear in the Quran as a personal name. It carries no prohibition from an Islamic standpoint.
