Ihab is Arabic in Origin.
Ihab is an Arabic masculine name from the noun īhāb (إيهاب), meaning “hide” or “leather,” especially an animal skin before tanning. The word appears in classical Arabic sources and hadith, where it denotes a hide, and its adoption as a given name spread across the Arab world in the 20th century. Because leather signifies durability and protection, the name often carries connotations of resilience and reliability in modern usage. Notable bearers include Egyptian singer Ehab Tawfik and Tunisian footballer Iheb Msakni.
Common transliterations are Ehab, Ihab, Iheb (Maghrebi/French influence), and Eihab. It should not be confused with Hiba (هبة), a distinct feminine name meaning “gift,” nor with Wahb/Wahhab, names from the root meaning “to give.” Ihab remains widely used in Egypt, the Levant, and North Africa, appreciated for its concise sound and classical Arabic pedigree.
