Adeeb

Adeeb is a male given name of Arabic origin, commonly treated as a variant transliteration of Adib. The root adīb in Arabic refers to a cultured or educated person, and the given name is typically understood to mean "cultured," "refined," or "educated," with some senses of "scholar" or "writer." The feminine forms Adeeba or Adeebah exist in some communities.

The name is widely used among Muslim communities across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa, and it appears in Urdu, Persian, Arabic, and related language contexts. In English-language records, Adeeb is a common spelling; other spellings such as Adib reflect different transliteration choices. The pronunciation can vary by language, but the core meaning remains tied to culture and education.

Variants and related names include Adib, Adeep, and Adeeba. The feminine form Adeeba is more common in Urdu-speaking areas, while Adeeb may be used for males in many regions. As with many Arabic-origin names, different spellings arise from transliteration practices rather than distinct etymologies.

As a given name, Adeeb has appeared in public life across fields such as literature, politics, and entertainment; however, no single figure is universally identified with the name. In some cases, Adeeb may also appear as a surname due to family naming conventions.
