Arema-origin & meaning?
I am searching for the origin and meaning of the name Arema. It was my grandmother's name and I have been unable to find any real info on the name. I believe it may have been a Dutch surname...

I know in Hebrew arema meant a heap of sheaves so 'heap' 'mound' or 'hill' are all connotations of the name. There is a Dutch surname Arema and I've heard of a Finnish name Arema but I don't know if they're connected to the Hebrew meaning or from some other Scandnavian source.Devon
