About Hanifah
Hanifah is listed in the CC0 Muslim Names Dataset as a female name. The source records its meaning as “Upright. Name of Al-Numan Ibn Thabit, the great jurist of Al-Kufah, the Hanafi School takes its name from him.”. Its origin label is inferred from the published script or etymological signal. Its reader-friendly phonetic spelling is generated deterministically from the published transliteration and should be reviewed for names with complex or region-specific pronunciation.
Meaning and Arabic spelling are sourced from the Muslim Names Dataset or, where provided, the record-specific provenance URL. Origin labels are source-stated where available or transparently inferred from the published script or etymological signal. Phonetic respellings are generated reading guides, not native-speaker recordings. See Sources & methodology for data limitations.
