Rukaiyah, of Arabic origin, is a unique and beautiful name that translates to "intelligent" or "wise." It is composed of two elements: "raka," meaning "wisdom" or "intelligence," and "ya," which means "God." Thus, Rukaiyah signifies the divine gift of wisdom. This name has been historically used within Islamic communities but is also appreciated by those who admire its distinctive sound and meaningful origin. It offers a wonderful opportunity for parents to bestow upon their child a name that is both elegant and profound in its meaning.
"Rukaiyah was quite popular in 1972, with five babies born that year."
