Tuba (given name)
Tuba or Tuğba (also transliterated as Toba, Tooba, or Touba; Arabic: طُوبَىٰ, Ṭūbā, lit. "blessedness"[1]) is a female given name of Arabic origin common in Turkey.[2] It derives from the ṭūbā tree that Muslims believe grows in heaven.[2] Other meanings are pure beauty, creator, goddess, life. The name is a modern Arabic borrowing into Turkish and has become a common female name in Turkey since the 1970s.[2] It is often spelt Tuğba there, and that spelling has the same pronunciation as Tuba.
