Strong, able, or a person of great hardship
Derived from the Arabic root meaning 'difficult' or 'hardship', it traditionally signifies a person who is strong enough to endure challenges. It is highly regarded in Islamic history due to Musab ibn Umayr, a prominent companion of the Prophet Muhammad. The name carries connotations of resilience and steadfastness.
