Sabah
Definition
This is an Arabic name, used for both sexes, meaning "morning". It is one of a number of related names where morning is transferred by association to ideas of light and beauty in the traditional interpretation of the names. Thus for boys we find Saabih "coming in the morning", Sabuh "shining, brilliant"; and for girls Saabiha "coming in the morning", Sabaha "beauty"; Sabia "charming", Sabih "pretty", Sabiha "morning", Sabuh "shining, brilliant". Sabah is particularly popular for boys in Kuwait, and for girls is well-known throughout the Arab world as the name of a very popular Lebanese singer.
