Origin of the name Saliha
The name Saliha is of Arabic origin; translated it means “righteous”, “kind”, “good-natured”, “pious”. This name is widespread in countries whose population professes Islam; in Russia, girls in the Chechen Republic, Tatarstan and Dagestan are called this way.
In the Qur’an, the word “saliha” means “good deed” when used in itself, and “virtuous and pious” when referring to a person and his actions.
The plural of “salih” is “saalihaat”, most often used in the Qur’an in the phrase “those who believe and do good deeds”, which is a central theme of the Qur’an. According to this concept, in Islam faith alone is not enough, and worship of a deity must be expressed in noble deeds. Therefore, by giving their daughter such a name, parents simultaneously demonstrate their own commitment to Islam and wish their daughter to be a good person and a good Muslim.
There is a male equivalent of this name – Salih.
Meaning and characteristics of the name Saliha
Since childhood, Saliha has been distinguished by her easy-going character, gets along easily with people and loves animals very much. She is hardworking, ready to do even monotonous and boring work, finding pleasure in it. She, like no one else, is capable of submitting to the turbulent flow of life, following someone else’s will, without losing her individuality. She likes to analyze what is happening, watches her own reactions a little from the outside, sometimes even with surprise.
For Salihi, studying is always a great pleasure. She is ready to sit for hours over textbooks; she has little interest in the practical application of knowledge and the material benefits from obtaining it. Her scientific search is completely disinterested; first of all, Saliha is interested in the truth, which is perhaps why she often achieves great success in the exact sciences and art.
Saliha loves logic games, but prefers to play with stronger partners, since she is more interested in learning new things than winning. If Saliha is passionate about chess, then she can spend hours analyzing other people’s games, calculating possible options for moves. Thinking about her own future, she is able to imagine several options for the development of events at once, without giving preference to any of them.
Love for her sometimes comes late, but the one who is lucky enough to captivate Saliha is unlikely to regret his choice. She is romantic, loves her family very much, and tries to surround her loved ones with warmth and care. Saliha loves to cook, willingly learns new recipes, and tries unfamiliar dishes with interest.
Saliha is one of those rare women who know how to create comfort instantly. She loves order, her house is always clean, things are neatly laid out in their places, but least of all her home resembles a hospital or sanatorium. There is no place for official comfort here – Saliha’s house is always joyful and bright, smells of flowers and freshly baked bread.
If Saliha is involved in sports training, she is always consistent and careful, strictly follows instructions and does not allow herself to slow down, even if she is very tired. She feels satisfaction from victories, but even after losing she does not despair, because she believes in her strength and always hopes to take revenge.
