Names meaning beauty and grace
Some names just mean beautiful — and the language has many ways of saying it. Jamila and Jamal share the root j-m-l, the simple word for beauty. Hasan and Husain mean handsome — the second is the diminutive, the small-and-cherished form. Then there are the names that name beauty sideways: through the gaze of a gazelle (Reem, Rasha), through the grace of a young palm (Lina), through the lift of an eyebrow (Najla). All of them describe something the namers thought worth keeping for a child.
