Arabic girl's name with a sea theme?

[LittleEntrepeneur]

Hi, I am looking for an Arabic girl's name - or a beautiful-sounding Arabic word - and am trying to come up with something that is related to the sea. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

I have an Arabic friend, Meriam, aka mer which means sea

Oh really? Thanks @Queenoftheashes. I know the name but didn't know it meant 'sea'.

Khuzarah meaning Ocean?

Ooh, that's nice @AdaColeman!

Yes, pretty eh? “La mer” is French for the sea, but I think the meaning of Meriam is more linked to the perfume myrrh and its bitter scent, there is much discussion about the meaning of the various versions of Meriam.

Meriam does not mean sea or anything close to that.

Oh, wait, I suppose 'yam' does mean sea. So it's just possible. But it's nothing to do with 'mer'.

Mouna? Water

I think Manar means lighthouse or perhaps beacon depending on the translation. Pretty name.

@bridgetreilly

Meriam does not mean sea or anything close to that.

What is said was she is known as Mer which is French for sea

Sea is al bahr.

Some names that mean water:

Lilias- diamond water
Marina- means port/marina/harbour (my favourite)
May- can mean water
Mia - comes from the name May
Selina- can mean flood like/torrential (also another favourite)
Raya- quenching thirst
Sabella- can mean water giver
Nadia- moist/ tender
Kauther- river in paradise...or kautherine meaning 2 rivers which is similar to Katherine.

Lulu means pearl.

I know a few little girls named Luluah (emphasis on the first syllable - LOO-lua)

My friend's daughter is Marjan (elongated second a, so pronounced Marjaan) and it means coral. It gets so many compliments.

Yes pearl meanings are lovely.

Savannah (the v is pronounced as an f) also means pearl in Arabic.

Dora also means large pearl

I also know a Marjan (coral) but spelt Morgan or Morgana

Maryam is the Arabic word for Mary.

Miriam/Meriam means Sea of Bitterness. Wouldn’t wish that on a child.

Salsabil. Paradise spring.

I think it’s Greek but Pelagia is a sea related name I’ve heard used once. I don’t know if there’s something similar in other languages.
