Fareeha is Arabic in Origin.
Fareeha is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, from the triliteral root f-r-ḥ (farh), "to rejoice, be glad." The classical form Fariha/Farihah (Farīḥa, فريحة) denotes "joyful," "cheerful," or "glad-hearted," and is related to the widely used Farah ("joy"). The anglicized spelling Fareeha reflects South Asian and diaspora pronunciation, lengthening the medial vowel.
Used across the Arabic-speaking world and carried east through Persian and Urdu literary traditions, the name appears in family records and poetry as a marker of felicity and good fortune. Regional and orthographic variants include Fariha, Farihah, Fareeha, Fareha, and Turkish Feriha; related names include Farah and the rarer masculine Farīḥ. Not strongly tied to specific royal or saintly figures, Fareeha has enjoyed steady use among Muslim communities from the Middle East to Pakistan and Bangladesh, and its warm meaning keeps it popular in contemporary global settings.
