Full Meaning of Raniah

Raniah is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “winner”, “one who triumphs”, “victor”, “successful”. It is derived from the R-Y-N root which is used in the Quran in verse 83:14. The name can also be derived from a non-Quranic root (A-R-N) in which case the name would mean “one who has a loving gaze”, which is a good meaning as well.

No! Rather, that which they were earning has overrun their hearts. (Quran 83:14)
