I want to know the meaning of girls name Anabia. Is it Islamic name? Is it Urdu or Islamic word?  Kindly guide me. Can I add Noor as second name with Anabia?

اَلجَوَابْ بِاسْمِ مُلْہِمِ الصَّوَابْ

1. The following are the sources and related words to this name:

1. الإنابة: If this name “Anabia” is taken from Arabic word that is infinity “Inaaba” or “Al-Inaaba” (الإنابة) then it mean ‘someone who repents and returns to Allah’. In this mean the girl name should be “INAABIA” or “MUNEEBA” (اِنابیہ، منیبہ).
2. اَناب: If it is taken from Arabic word “Anaab” (that is with الف) then it means ‘Musk’ or a ‘perfume like Musk’. In this mean the girl name should be “ANAABIA” (اَنابیہ).
3. عُناب: “Unaab” (that is with ع) means long and round mountain or long nose. The girl name “UNAABIA” (عُنابیہ).
4. عُنّاب: A medicine. The girl name “UNNAABIA” (عُنّابیہ).
5. عَنّاب: the seller of grapes. The girl name “ANAABIA” (عَنابیہ).

These all are permissible but in this sense and means, the best name is first one that is “INAABIA” or “MUNEEBA”.

Yes, the word “Noor” can be added with this name.
