Mujiba is a feminine Arabic name from mujība, the active participle of ajāba/yujību, “to answer, respond.” It is cognate with al‑Mujīb, one of the 99 Names of God, “the Responsive” or “Answerer of prayers.” As a personal name it denotes “responsive, obliging; one who answers or helps,” suggesting attentiveness and readiness to respond.

Usage spans the broader Islamic world but remains uncommon, with documented bearers in Arabic‑speaking countries and in East Africa through Swahili‑ and Somali‑influenced naming, as well as in South Asian Muslim communities and the diaspora. Variant spellings include Mujibah, Mujeeba, and Mujiba; the related masculine Mujib is far more prevalent, and the theophoric ʿAbd al‑Mujīb occurs for boys. Typical pronunciation is moo-JEE-bah. With its clear Qurʾanic-rooted semantics and graceful cadence, Mujiba offers a distinctive, service‑minded choice.
