What is the meaning of the name Atifeh ?

The baby name Atifeh is a Female name and is pronounced ah-TEH-feh (Persian: /ɒːˈtefe/).

Atifeh is Persian in Origin.

Atifeh is a Persian feminine given name of Arabic origin, derived from ʿāṭifa (عاطفة), a noun meaning affection, compassion, or tender-heartedness. In Persian it is written عاطفه and commonly transliterated Atefeh; approximate pronunciation is AH-tee-feh. The underlying Arabic root ʿ-ṭ-f conveys inclining toward someone with kindness, which gives the name its warm semantic field and a graceful, poetic feel across Persian and Arabic usage.

Used widely in Iran and neighboring Persianate communities, the name also appears in the Arab world as Atifah/Atifa and in Turkish as Âtife, reflecting Ottoman-era transmission; Urdu and Malay likewise favor Atifa or Atifah. Common variants include Atefeh, Atefe, Atife, Atifa, Atifah, Aatifa, and Aatifah. Parents often choose Atifeh for its virtue connotations - mercy, empathy, and considerate love - anchored in centuries of intercultural usage.
