I think people would assume she was Muslim or of Arabic/Middle Eastern descent (as I've personally never heard of/met any Safiya's who weren't) but if you don't mind that, I think it's a pretty name.

I think it's a lovely name, with nice meaning. It is a muslim name of arabic origin. As long as you are aware of this and it doesn't bother you then go for it!

I know a Saphia and a Safia too and think it's lovely.

I love it, it's the name of my favourite youtuber so has a good association for me as she seems lovely!

I am not Muslim but I think it sounds pretty. I would pair it with Karen, my late mother's name therefore Safiya Karen x

I like it..does remind me of Safi from Ab Fab, but I'm old

A close relative has this name. We have seen quite a few babies/toddlers locally with the same name out and about. They always get complimented on the name, it is Arabic for 'pure'. It's mostly commonly used by Muslim families. (Perhaps you are Muslim sorry if you knew that already )

I have taught 2 Safiyas, both absolutely beautiful, clever, funny and sweet girls so for me the name has lovely connotations. Go for it.

It's a yes from me. Lovely.
