Bibi Aisha (born 1992) — Afghan young woman whose face was mutilated by her Taliban husband; her Time magazine cover (August 2010) became one of the most-discussed magazine covers of the early 2010s. Bibi Russell (born 1950) — Bangladeshi fashion designer.

Where Bibi stands.

Bibi does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
