326.0. "An Arabic Girl's Name" by WFOOFF::GONCALVES () Mon Dec 19 1988 19:33

    I met a person this week by the name of  SORAYA,
    (pronounced  Sor-rye-ya).
    
    I know that it's Arabic.  But what does it mean?
   
    
    I like it. 
    
    Thanks,
              
    Shelly

	Hi there , Just to say that , no I don't know what it means , I have some others that might help . Basiclly I have been christened with an Turk/Aribic name , I've been adoppted , so I've also got two English first names & One German last name , but Aribic name that I have is * Mustafa * the way it is spellt is of a slight veriation of the normal way , which would be Mustapha . So there is another one for your list . * Hassan * is anoyher . I've also have a sister , who was adopted by different people , and her name is * Robia * . Now this name is commen , but the way it is normally spelt is * Rabia * which means Rabbit , so the way she had hers changed to is of a more upper class style of spelling it . and it actully does go fairly descent with European or American last names . You can also shorten it to Robs . I hope this has given you some ideas . EDWARD MUSTAFA TIGHE CABEL
