What is the meaning of the name Sheeba ?

The baby name Sheeba is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈʃiːbə/ — SHEE-bah.

Sheeba is Hebrew in Origin.

The feminine name Sheeba is a modern spelling variant of Sheba, anchored in the Hebrew sheva/sheba (שבע), meaning "seven" and, by extension, "oath," and tied to the ethnonym for the ancient South Arabian kingdom of Saba (Sheba). In the Bible, Sheba names peoples and places, and the famed Queen of Sheba inspired later adoption; in Ethiopian tradition she is Makeda, in Arabic lore Bilqis. Sheeba reflects English phonetics by doubling the vowel.

As a given name in English it appears from the late 19th century, with broader use in the 20th century across the Middle East and South Asia, especially among Christian and Muslim families, where Sheeba/Sheba became a biblically inspired choice. Variants and related forms include Sheba, Sheva (Hebrew), and Saba (Arabic/Ge'ez). The usual meaning given is "oath; promise," sometimes read as "from Sheba," with an added association to the number seven as a symbol of luck or completeness.
