Full Meaning of Sefieieh

Sefieieh is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “pure”, “chosen”, “virtuous”. It is a beloved name among Muslims due to its belonging to three well-known Muslim women from the history of Islam:

1. Sefieieh bint Abdulmutallib, aunt of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah upon him and his family and companions
2. Sefieieh bint Huyi, wife of Prophet Muhammad
3. Sefieieh bint Umar, daughter of Umar bin al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with them

Sefieieh is derived from the SAD-F-A root which is used in many places in the Quran.

And when the angels said: “O Mary! Behold, God has chosen thee and made thee pure, and raised thee above all the women of the world. (Quran 3:42)
