Roj Bash Kurdistan

ok everyone...i am going to ask you *all* for your favourite kurdish names for little girls!

as some of you may already know the websites of names which i have found so far have not proved to be that reliable, and nor do they include meanings...and the meaning of the name i choose will be very important to me.

oh, and would you also be able to tell me the pronunciations?

thankyou for your help,

rachel

I just saw you ask about "Meryem" in another thread - and I wanted to tell you that "Meryem" is a Semitic name, not Kurdish (Iranic)...


A few of my favourite girl's names are:

Kurdish ¤ English ¤ Meaning:
Sema ¤ Samaa = Dance/Ritual Dance
Shahbanû ¤ Shaahbaanou = Queen (literally: Shah = "King" and Banû = "Lady")
Banû ¤ Baanou = Lady
Zozan ¤ Zozaan = Highlands (in geography: a place so high above sea-level that trees don't grow there)
Azade ¤ Aazaada = The Free One

The English transliterations won't help much, though, since you have to hear them spoken to know where to put the primary and also secondary stress in some cases...

I'm gonna PM you...
