Lubna (لبنى) is the Arabic name for the storax tree — a fragrant flowering tree native to the Levant. The legendary beloved Lubna bint al-Hubab was the muse of the Umayyad poet Qays ibn Dharih in their famous tragic romance.
Lubna is widely used across the Arab world. Lubna Olayan (born 1955) is the Saudi businesswoman.
Lubna 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 Lubna reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
