Meaning and origin of Ehab
Ehab is the Egyptian way of writing the Arabic Īhāb. It comes from a root about giving and granting, the same root behind al-Wahhāb, the Bestower, one of the names of God. The name therefore suggests generosity and the act of giving, a reminder that every good thing is a gift. Families in Egypt and the Levant use it more than anyone, and the Egyptian spelling with an E is the one most often seen in English.
