Habiba (حبيبة) is the feminine form of Habib — from the Arabic root ḥ-b-b, meaning "to love." Habiba means "the beloved one" or simply "beloved." The masculine Habib is famously the title given to the Prophet Muhammad (Habib Allah, "the Beloved of God").
Habiba is one of the most popular girl's names across the Arab world, particularly in Egypt and the Levant. It is rising in Western records as Arab families bring it forward.
Habiba 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.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Habiba reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
