Aseefa

Aseefa is a feminine given name used primarily in South Asia, particularly in Pakistan and India, and among diaspora communities. It is one of several transliterations of a name of Arabic origin, with variants such as Asifa. The exact meaning of the name can vary by language and tradition, and in contemporary usage it is often chosen for its phonetic appeal rather than a fixed translation. The name is commonly found among Urdu- and Punjabi-speaking populations.

In public life, the name is associated with notable individuals such as Aseefa Bhutto Zardari (born 1993), a Pakistani activist and public figure known for her work on child health, education, and women’s rights as part of the Bhutto family’s public profile.

As a given name, Aseefa is used across communities and does not denote any single ethnicity or faith. Its use reflects broader naming practices in South Asia, where Arabic- and Persian-influenced names are common and often adapted to local languages and spellings.
