any idea where it comes from? I thought it was arabic...then parsi...it pops up infrequently in South Asia as a name for girls, yet it is listed as a common name in Australia...?

I'm Australian, and . . .. . . I've never heard of it! Baby name sites often stick "Australian" onto names they can't find the origin of!It looks like an Arabic name, but I'm not sure . . . I'll do some research and see what I can find :-)

I've found them . . .They all appear on lots of Arabic or Islamic-related websites, so they're probably Arabic. I can't find anything about the meanings, though. You could try asking an Arabic-language website if they have an obvious meaning?

Why do you tell someone to try elsewhere just because you can't find it in 15 minutes on google?
You don't think much of your fellow posters, that's clear enough.

Gosh, you're a rude one, aren't you. Can't you even spare a little energy to be civil?I almost can't be bothered replying to this obviously fight-picking post, but I will point out that I did not say that no-one on this board can answer her query. I said that an Arabic-language website would be a good place to look. I've been posting on this website for a long time and I've never seen a regular with any expertise in Arabic names - hence my reccommendation that expertise could be sought elsewhere.So unless you have some answers for this young lady - which you clearly don't - stop cluttering up the thread with irrelevancies.EDIT: Minor typo
