Misbahuddin is Arabic in Origin.

Misbahuddin is an Arabic-derived compound from miṣbāḥ, “lamp, light,” and al-dīn/ud-din, “of the religion,” yielding the devotional sense “lamp of the faith” or “light of the religion.” The term miṣbāḥ is well known from Qur’an 24:35 (the Light Verse), so the name carries strong connotations of guidance, clarity, and piety.

As with many -al-Dīn honorifics, the name appears in Islamic onomastics from the medieval period onward, especially within Persianate and South Asian traditions where the connective assimilates to -ud- or -uddin and the elements are often fused. It remains most familiar in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Recorded variants include Misbah al-Din, Misbah-ud-Din, Misbahuddin, Mesbahoddin (Persianized), Mezbah Uddin (Bengali-influenced), and rarer spellings like Misbah Uddin. Misbah functions as a common short form or nickname.
