Arabic · “Believed to derive from the Arabic name of a fragrant tree (the leadwort or a type of acacia), or from a root meaning "ornament of the father".

Maryam

Aziz
“From the Arabic root "ʿ-z-z" meaning to be mighty, powerful, or rare and precious — conveying both physical strength and the rarity of the precious. Al-Aziz (The Mighty) is one of the 99 names of God in Islam. As a name for humans, Aziz means "powerful", "dear", "precious", or "beloved", combining strength with preciousness.”
Yasmine
“From the Arabic yasamin, derived from the Persian yasaman, referring to the jasmine flower. The word entered Arabic and subsequently spread throughout the Islamic world, carrying associations of beauty, delicacy, and intoxicating fragrance.

Tariq
“From the Arabic root "ṭ-r-q" meaning to knock, to strike, or the morning star that knocks at the door of night, Tariq evokes the brilliance of a star that pierces darkness. It is borne by Tariq ibn Ziyad, the Berber-Muslim general who led the conquest of Visigothic Hispania in 711 CE, lending his name to Gibraltar (Jabal Tariq).”
Jamal
“From the Arabic root "j-m-l" meaning beauty, elegance, and gracefulness — the same root as "jamil" (beautiful) and "jameel". The camel (jamal) shares this root in Arabic, as it was considered the most beautiful and noble of animals in Arabian culture. Jamal conveys not just physical beauty but the full Arabic ideal of graceful excellence.”
