Arabic (?) names FARRHA and NALIAH

I came accross the first name FARRAH here in Germany. Certainly not German and seldom found here. It looks Arabic to me, but I have no Idea. On this data base I find FARHA as a variant of FARIHA. Can anybody help?
A second name I was asked to find information about is NALIAH. This site lists NALIA as an Arabic name (user submitted), but gives no meaning.
Thanks for your help!

Er, what's the problem, both Farrah and Farah are in the main database. In Germany it was known through Farah Diba, the last queen consort of Persia (the Persian royal family was regularly featured in the German tabloid press), so the name may have spilled over to ethnic Germans.

The English wikipedia has some additional info on Nalia, but I didn't cross-check for reliability.

Thank you for your answer. Maybe I was a little blind here. :—)
