Nazahah نزاھہ in its origin is an Arabic word and is used in Urdu. Its meaning is پاکیزگی (purity). A baby girl can be given this name, however, it has a negative aspect, i.e., when someone asks, "Is Nazahah here" and the answer is given, "Is not here" then bad omen gets evident and Huzoor صلی اللہ علیہ و سلم has forbidden from the words with similar meaning, e.g., رباح (Rabah) etc.
