Full Meaning of Pheryah

Pheryah, pronounced with a pause at the end, as in Faree-ah, is an indirect Quranic name for girls and the name of some of the Sahabiyaat (pious women who lived at the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him and his companions). The meaning of Pheryah is “tall”, “slim”, “woman with beautiful long hair”. It is derived from the F-R-Ain (branch, breadth) root which is used in the Quran in 14:24:

Have you not considered how Allah sets forth a parable of a good word (being) like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are in heaven.
