What is the meaning of the name Salieh ?

The baby name Salieh is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced SAH-lee-eh (approx. IPA: /sɑːˈliːɛ/).

Salieh is Arabic in Origin.

Salieh is a transliterated form of Arabic Ṣāliḥ (صالح), a masculine name meaning “righteous, virtuous, upright,” derived from the triliteral root Ṣ‑L‑Ḥ “to be sound, to reform, to reconcile.” It is well known in Islamic tradition through the Qur’anic Prophet Ṣāliḥ, which helped spread the name from Arabia across the Middle East, North and East Africa, the Balkans, and South and Southeast Asia.

Common variants include Saleh, Salih (Turkish/Bosnian), Sâlih, and Saleh/Sholeh in Persianate and Indonesian usage; related but distinct is Salah (صلاح). West African adaptations such as Salifu and Salieu reflect phonological shifts in local languages. The feminine counterpart is Saliha (صالحة), and the short form Sali appears in some communities. The spelling Salieh mirrors Persian and South Asian romanization practices that add -eh or -ieh to indicate a final h and fronted vowel, while preserving the core meaning of moral rectitude.
