Umayma is of Arabic origin, meaning 'life'. It is a unisex name but is more commonly used for females. The name has gained popularity globally due to its melodic sound and unique character. Umayma was notably borne by a daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. In many cultures, names are chosen based on their meanings or associations with positive attributes. Thus, naming a child Umayma could symbolize hope for a full and vibrant life ahead. The name's phonetics are pronounced as /oo-mah-ma/, which rolls off the tongue quite pleasingly.
