What is the meaning of the name Feriha ?

The baby name Feriha is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /feɾiˈha/ (feh-REE-hah).

Feriha is Arabic in Origin.

Feriha is a Turkish feminine name of Arabic origin, ultimately from the triliteral root f-r-ḥ (farah, “joy, delight”). In Turkish usage the spelling Feriha corresponds to Arabic Fariha/Fareeha, literally “joyful, delighted; one who rejoices,” and by extension “bringer of happiness.” The nuance is celebratory and upbeat, making it a name associated with good fortune and cheer.

Adopted into Ottoman Turkish naming through Islamic-Arabic influence, Feriha appears in Turkish records from the late Ottoman era and has remained familiar in modern Turkey, where a popular TV drama in the 2010s briefly boosted its visibility. The name also circulates among Muslim communities across the Balkans and South Asia, typically as Fariha or Fareeha. Close cognates include Farha and Farah/Farrah (meaning “joy”), while the less common masculine counterpart is Farih. Variant spellings: Fariha, Fareeha, Fareha; Turkish maintains the distinct orthography Feriha.
