Question

Is the name Sabeehah spelled with a س or ص? What is the meaning of this name and will it change if not pronounced correctly?

Answer

The name “Sabeehah” is spelled with a ص not a س. The meaning of “Sabeehah” is not found in “Sabeehah” with س.

We could not find any Sahabiyah named “Sabeehah”. Some sources suggest there was a ruler in Islamic Spain named “Sabeehah”.

The name means, beautiful or radiant.
