Nadia, Samina, Aneesa, Mariam, Sadia, Hina, Taniya,Nasreen, Risham, Tahira, I guess I like all these names because they are my family members and friends names too. They are really beautiful. ------------- You cant be a good muslim if you are not decent and have a cold heart. Be a decent and kind person and care for women and children and the elderly. |

I noticed Nadia popped up in the arabic names, what does it mean in Arabic. In Russia, Nadia is short for Nadezhda, or Hope in english. Just curious? |

Assalamu alaikum, Many Arabs I know have named their first born son after their husbands father, a common cultural practice. I also know some Indians whose daughters were named by the husbands sisters, again a cultural tradition. Any other naming traditions out there?

In Russia your middle name is a derivative of your father's name. Gregory, become Gregorovich for a boy and Gregorevna for a girl. Ivanovich or Ivanova, for Ivan. Etc They also have diminutives. Alexander and Alexandra becomes Sasha. Ludmilla becomes Ludya. ect. And they almost never use their last names unless its a first time meeting or a formal business meeting. They go by their diminutive with friends and family and aquaintences use their first name and patronimic....example Ekaterina Igorevna Petropavloskaia would be Katya to friends. Ekaterina Igorevna to her teachers and coworkers. I love names. Of course in Japan, your family name is first and your given name is second.
