Celebrate baby as a bundle of joy from the start with the name Ibtihaj. This feminine name has Arabic roots, translating to “happiness,” “joy,” or “delight,” and can always remind your little one of how much happiness they bring to you and your family. For some extra inspiration, baby would also be sharing their name with American saber fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad. This athlete is an Olympic bronze medalist who made history in 2016 as the first American woman to compete while wearing a hijab. If you can sense baby as being a similar trailblazer and barrier breaker in their life, the name Ibtihaj will make for a delightful choice.
