Meaning and origin of Wafiya
Wafiya is a simpler way of writing Wafiyya, the girl's form of the Arabic adjective wafiyy, faithful. It comes from the root w-f-y, about fulfilling promises. The name praises a girl who stays loyal and always honours what she has promised. Some baby-name lists say it means 'health', but that is a mistake; its real sense is faithfulness. It sits naturally beside Wafa, which praises the same virtue.
