Meaning and origin of Raabiah
Raabiah is one way of writing Rābiʿa, a long-established Arabic name that simply means 'the fourth'. It comes from the root r-b-ʿ, four, and was traditionally given to a family's fourth daughter. Its lasting appeal comes from Rābiʿa al-ʿAdawiyya, the Basran mystic of the eighth century whose devotion to God was famously selfless. Some lists translate it as 'spring', but that sense really belongs to the look-alike word rabīʿ.
