Nafeesah is a unique and elegant feminine given name of Arabic origin, meaning "pure" or "chaste". It is a variant spelling of the name Nafisa, which shares the same root meaning and is also of Arabic descent. Nafeesah is composed of two distinct elements: 'nafees', meaning pure, and 'ah', a feminine suffix in Arabic. This beautiful name adds a touch of refinement and uniqueness to those who bear it, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking a distinctive name with deep cultural roots.
"Nafeesah experienced a peak in popularity during the late 70s to early 80s with consistent numbers of births annually. However, its usage has since declined, with fewer than ten births recorded each year from 1985 onwards. Notably, there was a gap in reported births between 1987 and 1989. Despite the decrease in popularity, the name still saw some activity in recent years with five births recorded in 2022."
