Simba

Meaning of Simba

The name Simba, pronounced SIM-buh (/ˈsɪm.bə/), is traditionally a male name with origins in the Swahili language, where it means "lion." This powerful and evocative name gained widespread popularity due to its association with the beloved character Simba from Disney's animated film "The Lion King," released in 1994. The character's journey from a young cub to the king of the Pride Lands has made Simba a symbol of courage, growth, and leadership. Although not extremely common, the name has seen consistent use in the United States over the years, with occurrences ranging from 5 to 28 newborns annually since 1994. A notable variation of this name is Simbala. For parents seeking a unique yet meaningful name imbued with cultural richness and positive connotations, Simba presents an excellent choice.
