ArchivesMahwish or Mahwush
heya,
my name is also spelled Mehwish...but my relatives call me by my nickname Maha (maha sounds like shortform of Mahwish), i think the right spelling is Mahwish, according to the Persian pronounciation and means moon-like face. i couldn't say my whole name mehwish whn i was little, so i always told every1 i was maha...so thtz how my nickname began. It's sorta difficult for da western ppl to prounounce my name right, so some of my friends call me maya. Personally, I like my name mehwish, eventhough i pronounce my name wrong "may-wish" (sadly..western influence) instead of "maha-wish".
anyways, i love my name...there r so many meanings to it (from my point of view). it can mean "great wish" (lol...coz 'maha' means great n thn da english wish), and honestly, i have had so many incidents where my wishes come true...do i sound silly...? so whn i was lil, ppl would say, hey tht sounds like 'may I wish' or 'i wish for mehwish' blah blah...itz a cool name! im proud of it.

Oml same like Exactly the same but may I wish is kinda interesting I always though that I preferred the westerners to say mahwish when it is spelt like that but my name at home is pronounce as mehwish but it’s written as mahwish which is very confusing but yeh I love my name

It's natural for the following /i/ to force the preceding a to be pronounced as /æ/ or /e/ in a process known as levelling. the alternate Mahwush may be pronounced Mohwush or Muhwush for the same reason. In such cases where the spelling doesn't change even though the pronunciation does in certain situations, we would say that /a/ and /e/ are allophones.
