Full Meaning of Philtzah

Philtzah is a non-Quranic Arabic name for girls that means “most beloved”. Its literal meaning is “piece of one’s being”, someone you love so much that they are like a part of your own self. In Arabic this usually refers to one’s children, especially in the phrase Aflaazu Akbaadiha.

Philtzah also means “piece of gold”, “piece of silver”, or any other metal. It is not from the Quran but since it has a good meaning Muslims can use it. It is pronounced [(FIL)m] + [(Z)oom + r(U)n] and written as فِلْزَة in Arabic. In English it can also be written as Felza, Philtzah, Philza, Fylza.

There is also a Persian name Filzeh, which is the Persian way of pronouncing Philtzah. This too is acceptable to use.
