it means governess in Urdu.. well really.. nursemaid.. as well so im thinking it means something similar in arabic. its important that the name have a lovely meaning as well as sound. Nora is a good suggestion. |

I currently work in a schol with a very multi ethnic Arab population. Many names have mulitple different spellings as the English spelling is often an interpretation of the Arabic name. The most popular girls names are
Aisha or Ayisha Alia or Aaliyah Fatima Khadija Noor or Noora Zehra / Zohra / Zara / Zora Mariam or Maryam Hiba / Heba Faiza Eman or Eyman Oddly there are no Layla or Aya's at the school. Other Arab names that are easy to westernize are variations of Aisha, Alia, Sara, Nora, Farah, Dania, Zara, Nadia, Hanna, Yasmine |

OP here. These names scream “Arab” to me and these are the exact types of names I’m hoping to avoid. |
