The spelling of "Wahiba," which is commonly used as a female name in Arabic, can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The first syllable "Wa" is pronounced as /wɑː/, with a long "a" sound. The second syllable "hi" is pronounced as /hi/, which rhymes with the word "key." The final syllable "ba" is pronounced as /bə/, with a short "a" sound. Therefore, the correct spelling of this name is "Wahiba."
