Meaning and origin of Tanzeelah
Tanzeelah is built on tanzīl, an Arabic verbal noun from the root n-z-l, 'to come down'. The derived verb nazzala means to send something down, often step by step, and tanzīl is the sending down of revelation. The Quran uses the word for itself, so its meaning is closely tied to divine revelation. As a girl's name it is usually explained as 'revelation' or 'that which is sent down', with the implied sense of a blessing that has come from God.
The name is a South Asian creation. Families in Pakistan and India added the feminine ending -a, often written -ah in English, to tanzīl, giving Tanzeela or Tanzila. Tanzeelah is one of several spellings, alongside Tanzilah and Tanzeelaa. In Urdu it is written تنزیلہ, and it is pronounced tan-ZEE-lah. The name is rarely used in Arab countries, where tanzīl is understood mainly as a term for revelation, but it is familiar in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The word tanzīl describes the Quran itself, as in 'a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds' (Quran 56:80).
