[Facts] What about Baheejah?
Hi everyone, my name is Mike and my manager at work's first name is Baheejah. She said it means "smiles a lot" when it is paired with another name. She told me both names are of arabic descent and that her mother altered the spelling of Baheejah a bit. We're not sure of the pairing or the original spelling. Can anyone help us?!?!?! (I'd love you forever!)Mike

The Arabic feminine name "Baheejah", "Bahija", or "Bahijah" means "joy". The Arabic feminine name "Baseemah", "Basimah", "Basma", or "Basmat" means "smiling"."Baseemah" is a feminine form of the Arabic masculine name "Bassam", which literally means: "he who smiles a lot".Here's a 'net reference to the meaning of the masculine name "Bassam":http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/1729/arabicnames.txt-- Nanaea
