Pretty, shining, or a gift from God
Alishba is a name of Arabic origin that is frequently used in Muslim communities. It is often interpreted as meaning 'pretty' or 'shining,' though some sources also associate it with being a divine gift. It is a modern favorite in South Asia and the Middle East for its melodic sound and positive imagery.
