Re: Nurzita
If you looked on forebears, so did I. It said there are no bearers in Russia, but I can find quite a few on social media. It doesn't sound like a Russian name but it also doesn't really sound super Turkic. I just thought that because "nur" sounds Turkic. From my social media search I can say maybe it's related to Nuriya (or Nurziya?) and also the one I found first went by Nyura. The surnames of the Nurzitas seem to all be pretty Turkic. A lot of them are called Nuriya but you can see there are still some Nurzitas.

I checked LinkedIn and did a standard Google search, which brought up a couple of bearers from Malaysia:https://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir?firstName=Nurzita&lastName=&trk=people-guest_people-search-bar_search-submit

I have seen a few names that seem to be used in both Southeast Asia and Turkic-speaking countries, though -- it could be due to the fact that the Arabic "nur" element is commonly used in names in both of those regions.
