What People Usually Mean by This Name
Wardah (وردة, warda) is the Arabic word for rose, the queen of flowers in classical Arabic poetry and Sufi imagery. The Qur'an itself uses the rose-tinted word warda in its description of the heavens splitting on the Day of Judgement (Qur'an 55:37: fa-kānat wardatan ka-l-dihān, "and it becomes rose-red, like ointment"), the only occurrence of the term in the divine text. The rose has long held a privileged place in Islamic tradition: rosewater (māʾ al-ward) is sprinkled at weddings and funerals, and the rose is the supreme symbol of the spiritual heart in the poetry of Rūmī, ʿAṭṭār, and Saʿdī (whose Gulistān means "Rose-Garden"). As a feminine personal name Wardah is used throughout the Arab world, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The terminal -h preserves the Arabic ة (tāʾ marbūṭa); Warda and Werda are common Maghrebi-French variants. A name as gentle and unmistakable as its referent.
