The decision to name a child is of great sacred importance. Many people believe that this can affect the character and destiny of a person, endowing him with special traits and abilities. Each nation has its own names, formed over many hundreds of years. The female names of Chechen origin are very beautiful.
What are the names given to women in Chechnya
Muslims, choosing what to call a girl, try to take into account all the traditions of their beliefs. Too many Chechen female names come from the names of sacred animals, plants, and revered natural phenomena. An interesting feature of Muslim names is the origin of many of them from the verb form. For example, Waha translated into Russian means "live", Yisa - "stay." This unusual choice is due to the fact that in ancient times Muslims believed that in this way it is possible to save a child from death. If the family was very poor, then, calling their daughter Vakha, parents asked heaven for special condescension for the baby. Chechen female names can also come from adjectives (Aliya - “majestic”, Amina - “faithful”, Farikh - “happy”).
Ancient female names
A lot has been borrowed by the Chechens from the ancient Persians, Syrians, and even from the Slavs. Many Chechen female names may have several pronunciation options depending on the region of residence and the dialect spoken by residents of a particular locality. Names formed from the names of the holy prophets and their wives are very revered in our time. These are Zeynab (daughter of the prophet Muhammad), Zuleikh (wife of the prophet Yusuf), Madina (city of the prophet Muhammad), Maryam (mother of the prophet Isa), Khadija (one of the wives of the prophet Muhammad).
