I'd like to contribute some information about several names and forms respectively not mentioned in the data base.

Chaja (f): Another form of Chaya
Tamino (m): Descends from the Greek word "tamias" which means lord/master. There is a Tamino in Mozart's "The Magic Flute".
Tamina (f): Feminine form of Tamino
Smilla (already submitted by a user; however there's something I'd like to add; f): Descends from the Danish word "smil" meaning smile.
Navina (f): Of Indian origin, meaning "the new one"
Lunis (m): male form of Luna

Smilla [eta]

I'm the one who user-submitted it. I've added the things you wanted to add.

ETA:
If you want to submit names that are not in the database and not user-submitted go to www.behindthename.com and choose 'Subit a name' on the left (under Interaction & Tools)

Huh, I saw a Tamina on tv and wasn`t sure if it was legit or not, so thanks for telling it.
