Name meaning and origin
Sudaba is of Persian origin and derives from the word "südab". Südab is a fragrant, white-flowered shrub with essential oils called rue (Ruta); the feminine suffix "-ə" typical of women's names has been added to the end of the name. In some sources the name is linked to the words "sud" (benefit) and "ab" (water) and is explained as "the fruit of water, beauty as pure as water."
The name is known from classical Persian literature, especially from Ferdowsi's "Shahnameh," where Sudaba is portrayed as the daughter of the ruler of Hamavaran and the wife of Key Kavus. In Azerbaijan it is one of the rare but deeply rooted female names. It does not appear directly in the Quran, but it carries no prohibition in Islam.
