Question
what is the meaning of the name Sabirathun Nooraniya?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The word Sabirathun is from the word sabr which means to be patient. (A-Mawrid Pg.687)
Nooraniyah is from the word nur which means light, brightness, luminous. (Names for Muslim children ; Pg.82; A-Mawrid Pg.1195)
Hence Sabirathun Nooraniya means the patient one with light.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
