Ruqayyah

Ruqayya () is an Arabic female given name meaning "to rise”, or ”she who rises high”. Like most Arabic names, it has multiple transliterations: Ruqayyah, Ruqiya, Ruqaya, Ruqaiya, Rukayya, Rukaiya, Rukiya, Rakiya, Rakia, etc..

It is not to be confused with a separate Arabic term "Ruqia" from Arabic رقى (ruqia) meaning “to rise” or “ascend.” However, it is also suggested it could mean "incantation" coming from ruqya.
