Asmah is Arabic in Origin.
Asmah is a feminine name of Arabic origin. The standard form Asmā’ (أسماء) is linked both to the adjective أسمى (asmā, “loftier, supreme”) from the root s‑m‑w “to be high” and to the plural of اسم (ism, “name”), giving connotations of eminence and good repute. In Malay and some South Asian usage, the -h in Asmah marks the final Arabic hamza of Asmā’.
The name’s prominence traces to Asmā’ bint Abī Bakr, a renowned 7th‑century Companion, and it remains common across the Arab world and wider Muslim communities. Variants and regional spellings include Asma, Asmaa, Asma’, Esma (Turkish/Bosnian), Asmae (Maghrebi French), and Asmah (Malay/Bruneian). In modern naming, Asmah conveys ideals of dignity, elevated character, and lasting renown.
