Hello. I was wondering if anyone had any information on the name Arwa. It might be an invented name, I'm not for sure. The person I know with this name is female, but that's really all I know about it.

Thanks!
Jenni

To me it doesn't sound invented, because it doesn't sound trendy or trashy at all. I think it's an African name. I know an African name, Awa, who is close to it, but I don't know anything about it.
I've found the name Aroha, pretty close in prononciation...

Of course it could be a short form of Arwen, but I really don't think so.

Arwa is an Arab name, most commonly found in Yemen after a Queen that ruled in the 12th or 13th century.
