What is the meaning of the name Munazah ?

The baby name Munazah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced moo-NAH-zah (IPA: /muˈnɑːzə/).

Munazah is Arabic in Origin.

Munazah is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, from the root n-z-h "to be pure, abstain," related to the theological concept tanzih. The form munazzah (with shadda) means "purified, free from fault; exalted, above reproach." The South Asian spelling Munazah or Munazza reflects the feminine ending of munazzaha. As a virtue name, it conveys moral integrity, chastity, and spiritual elevation.

The name appears across Muslim communities, especially in Urdu-speaking Pakistan and North India from the 20th century onward, influenced by devotional phrases such as Allah munazzah 'an al-'uyub ("God is free from defects"). It is rarer as a personal name in the Arab world but readily understood; English renderings include Munazza, Munazzah, and Monazza. Related cognates are Nazihah, Tahira, and Zakiyah. Though occasionally treated as unisex, usage is predominantly feminine. In essence, Munazah means "purified; free of blame; exalted/above imperfections."
