Tuba is a female name of Arabic origin. It has been common since the 1970s in Turkey, where it is often spelt Tuğba, but it has also been used in other parts of the Muslim world, notably in Pakistan, where it is spelled طوبیٰ in Urdu. This name derives from Ṭūbā, a tree that Muslims believe grows in heaven. By etymology, this word is borrowed from Syriac Aramaic ܛܘܼܒ݂ܵܐ ṭūḇā meaning blessedness. Other meanings ascribed are "blessedness", "good news", "pure beauty","delightful" and "life".
