Meaning and origin of Sobia
Sobia spread quickly as a girl's name in Pakistan during the 1970s. Where it comes from is still debated. Many families say it means beautiful, while others tie it to the Arabic ṣubḥ, morning, which lends it a feeling of daybreak and brightness. Families write it in Urdu script, and no well-attested classical Arabic form exists, so it is best thought of as a South Asian Muslim name.
