Qurratul Eiyn is a direct Quranic name for girls that means “joy and tranquility to the eye”, a child who makes her parents happy and prevents them from becoming sad. It is mentioned once in the Quran in singular and once in plural:

Now the wife of Pharaoh said: “A joy to the eye [could this child be] for me and thee! Slay him not: he may well be of use to us, or we may adopt him as a son!” And they had no presentiment [of what he was to become]. (Quran 28:9)

And they who say: O our Lord! grant us in our wives and our offspring the joy of our eyes, and make us guides to those who guard (against evil). (Quran 25:74)
