a-z of somali female names!

Recommended Posts

Faheema.   

Knowing Somalis, they probably came up with those names after they encountered different types of Somali Woman. Particularly with the names below

 

Qorraxo: Kolay siday qoraxda u taagnayd ayaan taa magacaa lagu dhajiyey

 

Raagsan: Marka sariibada loo diro way raagi jirtay, saa la idhi naa tani waa raagsan

 

Raaxo: Ala raaxo jecelaa, mise wax kalay u jeedeen?

 

Saluugla: Waa mid aan waxba saluugin

 

Subkan: Dhalaal keedi badnaaba ayaa la idhi naa tani talow ma subagay isla dhacdaa?

 

Taliso: Wax uun u tali baa la idhi ragna ha ahaa tee

 

Timiro: Rabadaan iyo rabadaan la’aan timir afka kamay qaadi jirin

 

Udgoon: Uunsigii aduunka ayey habeen iyo maalin hoos istaagi jirtay

 

Warla: War ba waa laga waayey

 

Wiilo: too much of a tomboy

 

Xalwo: ala intee la idhi xalwada iska kala daa

 

Yuusa: the name says it all

Long as I love seeing a girl named after a good traditional Soomaali name, however those names I quoted above aren't really Soomaali names, but rather a Soomaalized Carabi names. Take for example Khadra or Jawaahir or Raaxo or even Xoriyo. All those are Soomaalized Carabi or Muslim names. However, it is really good to see some true, real pretty Soomaali names out there, like Haboon, Ladan, Idil iyo Hodan.

"Also my name starts with "M" and is not not Arabic name is international name can be somali too coz my great great grand ma named that name"

 

Og_girl could ur name be maria hence being international like u said, or munira, maryan, miliqla,lol, maogto, now thats a good name, just kidding there, but thats all the M names i could come up with.

 

warmoog is also a name that just explains itself, i wouldnt wanna be named tat though.

 

what about ceeblo, saxarlo, suuban, sirley and samawado. i know this lady who used to go to dugsi with me and her name, i cant mention,it starts wit S., figure it out urself. All i know is that every time ma macalin called her name, he used to look down and yell at us for snickering. i cant believe some ppl would name their daughters such names, la ilaah ila laah.

 

peace.

You might as well go and call yourself Umpalumpa, YUCK! :eek:

Walahi if my parents called me any of those names (no offence intended) I’d first disown them (they obviously hate me :( , for them to do something like that??!!) and then I’d change my name at the post office for £5.99

:D

 

And then I’d be Penelope Stardust (only joking!) :D;)

I personally think they are beautiful. smile.gifsmile.gif
