Habibullah is a name of Arabic origin, derived from the two words "habiba" and "ullah". "Habiba" means beloved or loved one, while "ullah" signifies God. Therefore, Habibullah translates to "God is my beloved".
The name Habibullah has a rich history that dates back centuries. It was popular among Muslims during the medieval period and was often used as a title or rank for high-ranking officials in Islamic societies. Some notable figures who bore this name include Habibullah Khan, the last Emir of Afghanistan, who ruled from 1901 to 1919.
Today, Habibullah remains a popular choice among parents seeking unique and meaningful names for their children. It is often associated with qualities such as devotion, love, and spirituality due to its translation. Despite its historical significance and beautiful meaning, it is not widely known outside of Muslim communities, making it an attractive option for those looking for an uncommon name.
In recent years, there have been a consistent number of newborns named Habibullah each year, with seven babies receiving this name in 2021 and six in 2022, resulting in a total of thirteen children bearing this name over the two-year span.
