Tuba (given name)


Tuba or Tuğba (also transliterated as Toba, Tooba, or Touba; Arabic: طُوبَىٰ‎‎, Ṭūbā, lit. "blessedness") is a female given name of Arabic origin common in Turkey. It derives from the ṭūbā tree that Muslims believe grows in heaven. The name is a modern Arabic borrowing into Turkish and has become a common female name in Turkey since the 1970s. It is often spelt Tuğba there, and that spelling has the same pronunciation as Tuba.
