Righteousness of the religion, through the Arabic name.
The Tausug borrowing points to the Arabic personal name; that entry explicitly supplies this compound interpretation. The separate Iraqi governorate sense is not treated as a baby-name origin.
Origin
Arabic-derived, in the documented Tausug given-name tradition.
The exact Tausug entry identifies a masculine given name borrowed from Arabic ṣalāḥ ad-dīn. The English section describes a surname and is not used to infer English given-name pronunciation.
