What is the meaning of the name Munazzah ?

The baby name Munazzah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced moo-NAZ-zah (IPA: /muˈnazzah/).

Munazzah is Arabic in Origin.

Munazzah is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, drawn from the triliteral root n-z-h that conveys purity and moral elevation. It literally means "purified," "free of blame," or "exalted above imperfections," echoing the theological language of tanzih in which God is described as munazzah 'an (far removed from) all deficiency.

As a personal name it circulates across Muslim societies, especially in Persian- and Urdu-influenced South Asia; it is rarer in everyday Arabic naming yet widely understood. Common transliterations include Munazza, Monazza, and Munazah; a cognate in Ottoman/Turkish is Münezzeh, and conceptually related Arabic names from the same root include Nazihah/Nazeeha. The doubled z reflects the Form II verb nazzaha "to purify," with Munazzah as its passive participle. The name carries a dignified, devotional tone, suggesting innocence, chastity, and being set apart from fault.
