Hawah is an uncommon and distinctive female given name of uncertain origin. It gained some popularity during the late 20th century but remains relatively rare today. The name's meaning and etymology are unclear, with some sources suggesting it may be derived from a Semitic root word meaning "life" or "breath," while others propose that it could be inspired by the biblical character Eve, whose Hebrew name is Chava, often transliterated as Hawwa in Arabic. Despite its uncertain origins, Hawah carries an air of uniqueness and intrigue, making it a captivating choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their daughter.
The name Hawah saw no usage for nearly two decades before experiencing a minor resurgence with five births recorded in both 2001 and 2019, resulting in a total of ten births over the course of those two years.
