Ayyub

Ayyub is the Arabic form of Job, a figure known in both the Bible and the Quran. The name's oldest meaning is uncertain, so its religious story offers a firmer starting point than a single confident translation. In Islamic tradition, Ayyub is remembered for his faith and patience through severe trials, giving the name a strong association with perseverance.

Ayub and Ayoub are other spellings used when the name is written in Latin letters. They can reflect different language conventions while preserving the same broad name family. For Muslim parents, Ayyub may honor a prophet and the qualities attached to his story. Its connection with Job also makes the name recognizable across related scriptural traditions, even when the form heard in daily life differs considerably.
