ArchivesRe: Mahin
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
According to this site the Persian female name Mahin is pronounced as mah-HEEN: http://www.gor.net/things/namesfor.html#M
I found a Facebook-account which explains the confusion: "My name is MAHIN/MAAHIN... and its not pronounced same as MAHEEN!"
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=55315213256 :
The following info is given there:
Name: My name is MAHIN/MAAHIN... and its not pronounced same as MAHEEN!
Category: Common Interest - Languages
Description: This group is for all you 'Ma(a)hins' out there!
Don't you just get annoyed when people think your name is a variated spelling of 'Maheen'?! Though its ACTUALLY pronounced the way it is spelt: MAA-HIN (not heeeen!).
SO HERE'S THE DIFFERENCE PEOPLE:
'Maaheen' (مھین) is a name of Persian orgin meaning related to the moon (since MAH is moon in Farsi... e.g MAHnoor means moonlight). Maheen can also mean: greatest; fine or thin texture; feeble voice.
'Maahin' (ماحن) is name of Arabic origin. It is one of many names of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w/pbuh) meaning 'eliminator (of evils)'. Maahin is a unisex name; though an uncommon feminine version does exist: 'Maahina' (ماحنا).
MAHEENS cannot join this group. Only us Maahins!! WOO!!
Extra piece of info: Maahin is also a male Hindu name meaning 'great'.
Pronunciation of the BOY'S name Mahin in Sanskrit:
