I have always been interested in what certain names mean especially for cultures that name after a character trait, a hero , or a parent/relative.... example one would be called Leo after a Lion to depict courage,bravery and being the Alpha( leadership)......
What's behind your name or any other name you like?
PS: Someone please clarify if the name Fairuz(Feiruz) means precious stone.....thank you :thankyou:
Muslims sometimes name their children for great figures in Islamic history (going back, of course, to include "Judeo-Christian" figures such as Moses and Mary alayhimus salaam), with the hope that their children will live up to the characteristics found in those people. Well, that's what my parents did with us, anyhow.
Feroz/Feroza is a name, and it's this stone, known in English as turquoise:
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. But at least the wub is back.

So who were you named after and what is the trait that you would like to emulate?

yasmin ..a sort of roses, my mum loves roses so she named me that name
the name can't represent the the person as he is indeed in all the cases
some ppl even think the name has influence in the person
for ex- one of my relatives was stubborn so they change her name> for me it nonesense >>her first name was eman (means faith) from the most awesome names
if the the name depict the person so that's great but not necessarily.

Please Don't Forget the Plight of Muslims in your Dua's "And Seek (Allah's) help
with Sabr (patience) and Salat (prayers): it is indeed hard, except to those who
are humble" (Qur'an Al-Baqara 2:45)

LOL....they actually changed her name....This shouldn't have be the case really but like I said some beliefs and cultures do influence this.
I should have actually started with this one....It's not my name, just a nickname from friends and it should actually be Hafsa( am working on the change)....which I have come to find out was one of Mohammed's(Prophet's) wives

Defiantely this is one of the best names................
My name means flowers....but i wish i had an islamic name. It might not have changed who i am but still would make me proud to be called after one of the rightous people of our ummah.
I have no idea what my name means. Different people i come across tell me, that if I change the pronunciation it'll mean this etc...
Apparently the imaam that named me said it had a good meaning. So now it's a case of calling up my relatives in BD to find that out.
Is there anywhere we can find out the meaning of 'unusual' names on the net?
