Eháb

Eháb is a transliteration of the Arabic male given name إيهاب, used primarily by Arabic-speaking communities. In Latin-script form it is most commonly rendered as Ihab or Ehab; Eháb is a less common variant reflecting broader transliteration practices in non-Arab contexts.

Etymology and meaning: The name إيهاب belongs to a class of Arabic names derived from root consonants associated with giving or life, though precise interpretation can vary by linguistic tradition and region. Because Arabic vowels are not written in standard orthography, several spellings exist in English, including Ihab, Ehab, Eyhab, and, in some diacritic-aware renderings, Eháb.

Usage and distribution: Eháb/Ihab is widely used in countries such as Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Palestine, and has been carried by diaspora communities around the world. The name commonly signals cultural or familial ties to the Arab world and is familiar to speakers of Arabic across different dialects.

Notable bearers: A variety of individuals named Ihab or Ehab have gained recognition in sports, academia, business, and the arts, illustrating the name’s broad appeal across generations and regions. The prevalence of the name in public life varies by country and community, but it remains a recognizable and enduring choice in Arabic-speaking contexts.
