Noriza is Malay in Origin.
Noriza is a Malay and broader Southeast Asian feminine name built from Arabic elements: Nur/Nur- ("light, radiance") and 'Izzah ("honor, glory, strength"). In Malaysian orthography the first element is often written Nor-, yielding the contracted form Noriza or Norizah; taken together, the meaning is "light of honor" or "radiant glory."
The name spread with Arabic-derived naming in the Malay world during the 20th century and remains common in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, and parts of Indonesia, with some use in the Philippines (especially in Muslim communities). Variant spellings and forms include Noriza, Norizah, Nooriza, Nuriza, Nur Izzah and Nor Iza; related names are Noor/Nur, Izzah, Aiza, and Riza. Nicknames such as Iza, Riza, and Nori are typical. Noriza sits comfortably among modern compound Arabic-Malay names, balancing a contemporary sound with a devotional, virtue-based meaning.
