Full Meaning of Rauhiyah

Rauhiyah is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “good scent”, “happiness after sadness”, “rest after tiredness”. It is derived from the R-W-H6 root which is used in many places in the Quran. Rauhiyah is also the name of a city in Tunisia. It is formed from Rawh, which contains the meanings already mentioned, and a non-standard folk addition of -iya, which means “full of”, so the full meaning is “full of good scent”, “full of happiness”, “full of comfort”.

For him shall be comfort, and fragrance and a Paradise of Bliss. (Quran 56:89)
