HelpRe: French BAs
in reply to a message by pistachio
I wonder if Maloée might have a link to St.-Malo. It looks somewhat Breton. And I find Tasmin uncomfortably close to both Jasmin (not in France, though!) and Tasneem (Tasnim) - could be a typo, could be a merger.

Guess so, although Tasnim is a girls' name in Arabic. Maybe Tasmin is Berber?
For those who don't know, Berbers are the original inhabitants of Northwest Africa. They speak their own languages separate from Arabic (although they use that as a second language), and look very different from most Arabs, with some even looking very European. A number of the North Africans in France are actually Berbers. Some Berbers still use names from Berber languages, such as Kahina for girls.
