Origin and meaning of Huda
Huda (هدى) comes from the root h-d-y, the same behind the Quranic term 'hidayah', divine guidance toward the right path — a central concept in Islam. The name therefore signals something far deeper than mere direction: the spiritual illumination that leads to truth. It appears repeatedly in the Quran and carries high religious esteem throughout the Muslim world, from North Africa to the Levant. It has also gained global visibility through entrepreneur Huda Kattan, founder of the cosmetics brand Huda Beauty.
