Vaaniyya

A Quranic Name for Girls

Meaning: Tender and Delicate

Vaaniyya is variant of Waniya and has the exact same meaning and pronunciation (see below for full meaning). You can use either Vaaniyya or Waniya, both are correct and acceptable. If you like this variant more and you'd like to pronounce it the way it is spelled (different than the original name), this is perfectly acceptable. For more details please see the main entry at: Waniya.

Full Meaning of Vaaniyya

Vaaniyya is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “soft, gentle breeze”. It is derived from the W-N-Y root (softened, weakened, slackened) which is used in the Quran in 20:42:

Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance.

Some sites say Vaaniyya is also a Hebrew word meaning gift from Allah, and one site says it means pearl. All of the meanings are acceptable, for this reason Muslims can use this name.
