Hibat is an Arabic-origin given name from hibah (هبة) meaning gift, grant, or favor. In classical Arabic grammar, hibat is the construct state meaning “gift of,” most famously in Hibat Allah “gift of God,” from which the short form Hibat is derived. It is used for both genders, though more often male in compound form and female as Hiba/Heba.

The name appears across the medieval Islamic world in theophoric compounds borne by scholars and officials, and remains current from the Levant and North Africa to Iran, Afghanistan, and the diaspora. Variants and related forms include Hiba/Heba, Hibah, Hibatullah/Hibatallah/Hebatullah, and the Kurdish-Persian-Turkish spellings Hebat/Heybat; the latter may also reflect Arabic hayba “awe, majesty,” giving a parallel sense of dignity or grandeur in some regions. Its core meaning centers on “gift,” often interpreted spiritually as a blessing or boon.
