Ibtehaaj is Arabic in Origin.
Ibtehaaj is a modern transliteration of the Arabic name Ibtihaj (ابتهاج), from the root b-h-j “to rejoice, be radiant.” As a verbal noun on the pattern ifti‘āl, it denotes joy, delight, and elation - conveying the sense of festive happiness. The name is used chiefly as a feminine given name across the Arab world and among Muslim communities globally, appreciated for its upbeat, auspicious meaning.
Historical and contemporary usage is steady rather than common, with wider recognition in recent years through figures such as American Olympian Ibtihaj Muhammad. Variant spellings reflect regional transliteration: Ibtihaj, Ibtehaj, Ibtehaaj, Ebtehaj, and Ebtehaaj; in Persian, Ebtehaj also appears as a surname. Related Arabic names from the same root include Bahja (“joy”) and Bahij/Bahija (“cheerful”). Ibtehaaj suits parents seeking a culturally grounded name that literally embodies happiness.
