What is the true meaning of these arabic names?

Could anyone who has good knowledge of arabic or ( is preferably fluent in Arabic); tell me what these names mean? I looked on the web but there is a lot of conflicting information ..alsoif you could rate them from most to least liked...thank you!


The names are as follows:


Amra and Amrah...why two different spellings is the meaning changed? and what is the actual meaning?


Sumaiya


Leyla


Aleena


Saima


Maliha


Adeena...also, is this used in the muslim arabic world?


Nazneen (I believe its Persian?)


Lamees ........................................… appreciate it!:)|||- There's Ameerah-أميرة and it means Princess,. Amra I don't know it.



-Sumaiya-سُميّة = Like the meaning of Sami in Arabic, which is from supreme.



- Layla-ليلى = the rapture. and also name of beautiful old Arab women in stories.



- Saima, I Guess you meant Shiama'-شيماء.: The woman with good ethics and manners.

or Samia-سامية : it has the same meaning of Sumaiya.



- Maleeha/Maliha-مليحة : pretty woman



- Nazeen: there's no. we have Nadeen-نادين : Russian old name means Hope.



-Lamees-لميس: soft/tender woman.





- Aleena im not sure if it's pure Arabic ? There's Arabic name Leena: the small palm/ or tender.

-Addena: Also im not sure if it's Arabic name.

Or maybe they're not spelled correctly.|||This does not answer your whole question, but I do know that spelling names differently in English would not change the meaning. You would have to know the spelling in Arabic. Arabic words and names are spelled many different ways in English, just because we are trying to use English letters to show the pronunciation of the Arabic word. We spell some Arabic names incorrectly in English the same way that in Arabic Pepsi is spelled bebsi because they do not have a 'p' in the Arabic alphabet.

Sorry I did not exactly answer your question about the names.



I added a source you can check out, but you may have seen it already.|||Amra (I think that is is written Amara, but then again when you change the name and write it in a different language you really can't write it correctly) means moon


as for the rest I only know the Lamees one (my friend's name) although she writes it in french spelling (Lamis) and it means soft|||Amra (typically spelled Amira) means princess

Sumaiya - don't think this name has an actual meaning/but i could be wrong

Leyla means night

Aleena means noble

Saima - not sure if you mean samia which means like "above all others" kind of

Maliha means pretty

Adeena - i've never heard of an arab named adeena (sounds greek)

Nazneen - never heard of (probably is Persian)

Lamees means soft|||It's not Nazneen; it's Nazaneen: a persian name means "cute and nice"
