Tarikah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Tarikah

What is the meaning of the name Tarikah ?

The baby name Tarikah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced tah-REE-kah (IPA: /tɑːˈriːkə/).

Tarikah is Arabic in Origin.

Tarikah is a feminine name with intertwined Arabic and South Asian roots. In Arabic, tariqah means "way, path, method," and in Sufism it denotes a spiritual path or order; the name thus evokes guidance, discipline, and devotion. In South Asia, Tarikah is often treated as a variant of Tarika, which traces to Sanskrit Tarika/Taraka, "star," a poetic term for a celestial light, giving the name a luminous, aspirational sense. Modern bearers may embrace either or both associations.

Usage as a given name is relatively modern and rare, appearing in 20th- and 21st-century Muslim, African, and South Asian communities and among diasporas in the UK and North America. Common variants include Tarika, Tariqa, Tariqah, Tareeka, and Tareka; short forms Tari and Rika are used informally. Related names are Tariq (Arabic masculine, "night visitor/morning star") and Tara (Sanskrit, "star"). Overall meaning: "the path; the star; a guiding way."
