Tuba (given name)

Tuba (also Anglicised as Tooba, Touba, or less frequently Toba; ) is a female name of Arabic origin. It has been common since the 1970s in Turkey, where it is often spelt Tuğba (and that spelling has the same pronunciation as ''Tuba'' in Turkish), but it has also been used in other parts of the Muslim world, notably in Pakistan, where it is spelled in Urdu. This name derives from Ṭūbā, a tree that Muslims believe grows in heaven. By etymology, this word is borrowed from Syriac Aramaic ܛܘܼܒ݂ܵܐ ''ṭūḇā'' meaning blessedness. Other meanings ascribed are "blessedness", "good news", "pure beauty","delightful" and "life". Provided by Wikipedia
