Full Meaning of Tarika

Tarika is the girl version of the name Tariq and has the same meaning, please visit it for more information on this name.

Tarika, should not be confused with Tuhreequh (emphasis on ree), which means road or path, also a Quranic name, though due to the fact it is used to refer to different Sufi doctrines (such as the Naqshbandi Tuhreequh), the name has Sufi connotations. For this reason don’t use it if you don’t want people to randomly assume your child comes from a Sufi family (unless of course the child does come from one, in that case it is up to you). As long as you clearly put the emphasis on Taa in Tarika no one should confuse it with the Tuhreequh.
