Meaning
Shakiba, explained
Shakiba (شكيبا) is a Persian name for girls. It means patient.
Is Shakiba in the Quran?
No. Shakiba is not a word in the Quran. A name does not need to be in the Quran to be a good Muslim name: what matters is that its meaning is good. The Prophet ﷺ changed names with bad meanings and kept names with good ones.1
How to say and write Shakiba
Say it sha-kee-BAA. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Shakeeba. In Arabic it is written with 5 letters, from right to left: ش shin + ك kaf + ي ya + ب ba + ا alif.
Choosing Shakiba
A Muslim name does not have to be Arabic. Scholars allow names from any language as long as the meaning is good and the name is not tied to another religion. Shakiba has a good meaning, so it is fine to use. With the father's name it becomes Shakiba bint (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
