There can be a lot of emphasis on giving baby a name that inspires them to be resilient, strong, or hard-working. One of the many wonderful things about the name Haniya, an Arabic and Hebrew girl's name, is that it means "restful place," "happiness," and "joyous." In this world of uncertainty, giving baby Haniya a name that will encourage her to rest and be happy is one of the best gifts you can bestow upon her.
