Hemza is an Arabic name derived from the root verb 'hamaasa', meaning 'to praise' or 'to glorify'. It means 'praiseworthy' or 'worthy of praise', and has been carried by notable figures in Islamic history, such as Hemza bin Al-Walid bin Mughirah, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. Despite its rich heritage, Hemza is relatively rare but gaining traction for its unique sound and significant meaning.
