What is the meaning of the name Tawba ?

The baby name Tawba is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TAW-bah (approx. /taʊ.ba/; Arabic: tawbah, توبة).

Tawba is Arabic in Origin.

Tawba is an Arabic name taken from tawbah (توبة), “repentance” or “turning back (to God).” It stems from the triliteral root T‑W‑B, “to return, relent,” which also yields the divine epithet Al‑Tawwāb, “the Ever‑Relenting.” The concept features prominently in the Qur’an - most notably in Surah At‑Tawbah - and in Sufi writings, where it marks the first station on the spiritual path.

Used as a virtue name across Muslim communities, Tawba is unisex but tends to be given to girls in many regions. Spellings vary with transliteration and local languages: Tawbah, Tauba, Taubah, and occasionally Toba. In Urdu, tauba is widely recognized both as a pious term and as an exclamation, which has helped its adoption as a personal name. The name conveys ideals of moral renewal, humility, and hope for divine acceptance. Related names from the same root include Tawwab (male).
