Sumi | 13 years ago

I recently, thanks to Usama, got to know what my name means: 'princess and succesful', MashaAllah :D :D Though, the meanings are quite flattering, I still would like to know if there are other meanings for my name as well.
Oh yes, for those who don't know: Sumi's official name is Sumaira. :)

Sumaira does not mean princess, It was a name of an arab princess.

Zainab Hussain | 13 years ago

Sumaira comes from the name Sumra/Samar means sweet fruit. And for princess reference see http://hamariweb.com/islam/sumaira_name-meanings.aspx
Actually, the names which do not come of Islamic history, can have a lot of meanings, so dun be confused.

Zainab Hussain | 13 years ago

thanks Zainab. I have heard/found several meanings so far and yes, brownish was one of those too. :) This is one of those moments, when I wish that at least a name should not have way too many meanings :D

Sumi | 13 years ago

yeah.. a tamil(or is it kannada) frend of mine says in his language the third gender people are called Ali's.. and thats on wikipedia too :|
but i am pretty sure thats not the source of the name :P

Ali Iqbal | 13 years ago

Ali is an Islamic name and it means "The high", you dun need any other reference : )

Zainab Hussain | 13 years ago

hhehehe.. i know.. sometimes names can have independently different meanings in different and completely separated worlds. i find it funny..

Ali Iqbal | 13 years ago

Well you can choose whatever meaning you like :)
P.S I like princess more :))

Nabeha | 13 years ago

ahh, thanks @Ali and Nabeha :))) I seriously feel like doing a research on it and further amaze me with the result :D

Sumi | 13 years ago

lol ohk research and then u will get more option to choose the best one ;)

Nabeha | 13 years ago

how clever, right? ;)))

Sumi | 13 years ago

yup very :)

Nabeha | 13 years ago

adaab, shukria :D

Sumi | 13 years ago

sumi means Necessarily beautiful in japanese.
in northeastern india, there is a whole tribe by that name.

Ali Iqbal | 13 years ago

I'm loving it :D

Sumi | 13 years ago

Luckyyy you :) I also want multiple meanings now :/

Nabeha | 13 years ago

yeah, I am feeling cool about all the 'good' meanings :D Allah shukar.
btw, Ali: Sumi is my nick - magar it is still nice to have a good meaning.
These different meanings, now really require a cross-cultural analysis :D

Sumi | 13 years ago

iknow.. sumi is a short one, and i thought i might find it in the asian languages.. :P
long names like sumaira, nabeha, even if present in other languages (the approximate syllables ie) are pronounced so differently that it cant be matched.. my name is short, although the google is flooded with the islamic name, i am sure it must mean a verb, an adjective or a noun (one example of which i have already found) someplace somewhere in the world :D

Ali Iqbal | 13 years ago

isn't that exciting? :D I wish I could 'like' your comment!

Sumi | 13 years ago

and the way americans pronounce my name, it seems like a girls name.. Alee as in Alee McBeal!

Ali Iqbal | 13 years ago

Iqbal means 'admission', 'confession', 'avowing', 'owing' and 'acceptance' too but in terms of Law. Otherwise its just 'prosperity', 'good fortune', 'luck', 'success' and 'felicity'.

Awais Amjad | 13 years ago

My name doesnt mean anything.
There are some names that mean "A Pious or noble person" but they dont literally mean that, because the etymology only suggests that its after the name of a Pious or Noble Person. My Name is one of those.

Answered by: Awais Amjad | 13 years ago

Awais is that type of name but Amjad certainly means 'most glorious'; 'most venerable'.
