Tell me some weird names

I really pity those who get named Dolores, since it means "pains" in Spanish... Sounds like they weren't really wanted 😅

Ammah, an Arabic which litteraly means a female slave. I find it disturbing. Usually religious people name their daughters that.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether that means mum in punjabi👀
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@NickiHijab it sounds like mum a lot actually
@SW-User It's kinda rare I guess, here it is for a dictionary
NickiHijab · F
@HannibalAteMeOut I often use amma, ammi or mum lol
@HannibalAteMeOut Interesting that would be Batool here which was also another name to Jesus's mother

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether is Egyptian Arabic a lot different than in other countries? I'm kinda under this impression.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether ammah usually means aunt from dad’s side of of the family. female slave is jariya
@NickiHijab Interesting it's close, it's very close also to ummah which means nation
SW-User
@HannibalAteMeOut honestly all countries differ but egyptian arabic is probably the most washed down arabic in my opinion. it’s all slang. the most accurate arabic is iraqi dialect. egyptian is definitely the hardest to understand bc if you’re not from egypt, you won’t know a single word they’re saying

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether yeah, I'm aware of ummah. I think most Muslims know that one lol
@SW-User That ammah is with an ع which is aunt yes. The other you say it quick like ama. Jariya means a slave too but it isn't a name for a person.
SW-User
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether ive honestly never heard ama in my life, so idek at this point

@SW-User hmm thought so, maybe it's the Egyptian dialect, that's why the confusion.

@SW-User I found this online: "Ama (transliteration: Amah, Arabic: أمة) is an ancient Arabian name for girls that means “female slave”. It can also mean “devoted worshiper of God”. It is the feminine equivalent of the ancient boy name Abd. The word Ama is usually added to one of the names of God to create composite name, such as Amatullah (made up of Ama and Allah), meaning “servant/slave of God”, similar to the way Abd is added to one of the names of God to create names like Abdullah."
@HannibalAteMeOut It's pure Arabic actually it's mentioned in quran. I heard of it a lot in Saudi Arabia.

@SW-User It's okay that you didn't hear of it. Don't worry about it that's probably a good thing 😁
SW-User
@HannibalAteMeOut wow okay i really gotta catch up on my arabic😳
