Habib (Arabic: حبيب, romanized: ḥabīb; Arabic pronunciation: [ħabiːb ]; also romanized as Habeeb) is an Arabic masculine given name, occasional surname, and honorific, with the meaning "beloved"[1][2] or "my love", or "darling".[3] It also forms the famous Arabic word "Habibi" which is used to refer to a friend or a significant other in the aspect of love or admiration. The name is popular throughout the Muslim World, though particularly in the Middle East and Africa. In other countries, especially in the Hadhramaut region of Yemen and Southeast Asian countries such as Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, it is an honorific to address a Muslim scholar of Sayyid descent and where it is one of the names of the Islamic prophet Muhammad – حبيب الله Habib Allah (Habibullah/ Habiballah) - "Most Beloved of Allah (God)".

The name, as is the case with other Arabic names, is not only confined to Muslims. Notable examples of Christian individuals named Habib include Habib the Deacon,[4] Gabriel Habib[5] and the Philosopher Habib.[6] Habiba is the female equivalent. Notable people with the name include:

Etymology

[edit]

The name stems from the Arabic verb ḥabba (حَبَّ), meaning to "love", "admire, be fond of". Another variant which is used as a given name and adjective of the stem from that verb is "maḥbūb" (مَحْبُوب) meaning "well-beloved", commonly written as Mahbub, the female equivalent Mahbuba (Arabic: maḥbūbah مَحْبُوبَة). The Hebrew equivalent of the name is Haviv (Hebrew: חָבִיב) used as both a first name and last name with the same meaning, "darling" or "likeable" in Hebrew.
