Shuaib is of Arabic origin and means "bringer of good news". It is derived from the root word 'sha'ah', which translates to "announce" or "proclaim". The name Shuaib is often associated with the Prophet Shu'aib, who is mentioned in the Quran as a descendant of Abraham through his son Ishmael.
The name Shuaib experienced fluctuating popularity over the years, with a significant rise starting around 2002 and peaking between 2005 to 2008, after which it began to decline gradually but steadily until the most recent years where it has shown slight increases again.
