Re: My name is Khalisha
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
This is actually my name. I was told by an Arab man that my name actually means "faithful, woman of God". I have taken it to translate as "Faith" in English.
And yes, i pronounce it with the "ach" sound, with an accent on the first 'a' ("ah").

خالص Khalis means pure in Arabic. It's hard to see how even a related word could mean "woman of God", but Khalas is a verb that means "clean/redeem/clear" and also "keep faith".
