The name Sheba is of Arabic origin and is primarily used for females. Its meaning, "Kingdom In Arabia," is derived from the ancient South Arabian kingdom of Sheba, also known as Saba, which existed in Yemen from around 1000 BCE to 275 CE. The Sabaeans, who were the inhabitants of this kingdom, were closely associated with its identity. Sheba was renowned for its role in the lucrative spice trade, particularly in frankincense and myrrh, and its influence extended to modern Yemen and parts of the Horn of Africa. The name Sheba is also associated with the Queen of Sheba, who is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and Islamic traditions, as well as with the interactions between King Solomon of Israel. The historical and cultural significance of the name Sheba is reflected in its prestige among South Arabians and Abyssinians.
