ArchivesRe: Xarifa (edited)
in reply to a message by Kate
It actually sounds like Zarifa to me, which is a valid Arab (read: Moorish) name.
Zarifa apparently isn't on the database here, but it is an attribute name; I couldn't tell you how long it has been used as a name, but it is an adjective both in masculine (Zarif) and feminine form.
ETA more info.
