Lubiya is Arabic in Origin.

Lubiya is a modern feminine given name used across South Asian and Middle Eastern communities, likely shaped by several linguistic currents. In Arabic it is often read alongside the root l-b-b, lubb, “the heart, the innermost core,” linking it to names such as Lubaba and Lubabah; others connect it by sound to Lubna, the storax tree famed for fragrance. It also echoes the Slavic Lyuba/Luba family derived from lyub- “love,” so Lubiya is commonly interpreted as “beloved” or “of the heart.”

Documented usage rises in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, especially in diaspora settings where cross‑cultural spellings flourish. Variant spellings and related forms include Lubia, Luvia/Lluvia (by association), Lubi, and Lubna; pet names include Lubi, Lulu, and Bia. Because it spans traditions rather than one fixed source, meaning is usually chosen by the family, with “love” and “heart’s core” the most cited.
