“From the Arabic root "z-b-d" meaning butter, cream, or the best and choicest part of something — conveying the richness of the finest thing. Zubaidah bint Ja'far was the powerful wife of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid, celebrated for her philanthropy, especially her construction of the "Zubaidah Road" supplying water to Mecca.”
Yusuf
“The Arabic form of Joseph, derived from the Hebrew "Yosef" meaning "God will add" or "God increases". In the Quran, Yusuf is described as the most beautiful of all stories, and the Prophet Yusuf's tale of betrayal, patience, and ultimate triumph is one of the most celebrated in Islamic literature.”
Amber
“Taken from the English word amber, denoting the golden-yellow fossilised tree resin used in jewellery. The word itself derives from the Arabic 'anbar, via Middle Latin ambar and Old French ambre. The name began to appear as a given name in the late 19th century but achieved widespread popularity after the publication of Kathleen Winsor's bestselling novel Forever Amber in 1944.”
Lelah
“Lelah is a feminine name, likely a variant of Leila, an Arabic and Persian feminine name from the word layl meaning "night." The name is evocative of dark, mysterious beauty in Arabic and Persian poetic tradition — Leila and Majnun is the great Arab and Persian love story, the Eastern equivalent of Romeo and Juliet.”
Ilyas
“The Arabic form of Elijah, from the Hebrew "Eliyahu" meaning "my God is Yahweh" or "Yahweh is God". In Islamic tradition, Ilyas is considered a prophet sent to the people of Baal-worship in ancient Phoenicia — his story parallels the Biblical Elijah and he is mentioned in the Quran (Surah 37) as a messenger of righteousness.”
Zuleikha
“From Arabic "Zulaykha", of uncertain etymology — possibly from an Aramaic or Coptic root. In Islamic and Persian literary tradition, Zuleikha is the name given to Potiphar's wife (unnamed in the Bible) who falls in love with the prophet Yusuf (Joseph) and attempts to seduce him — her story was famously retold by the Persian poet Jami in "Yusuf and Zulaikha" as a Sufi allegory of the soul's love for God.”
