Talk:Nahla (name)

This page simultaneously says nala means gift in swahili and doesn't. Someone with a source needs to fix this. I have always heard zawadi as gift but perhaps Nala is an old word. Regardless, the article can't SAY BOTH

Maltese bee and Arabic water
Maltese naħla (bee) comes from Arabic نَحْلَة, as seen on Wiktionary, but the Arabic name Nahla is نهلة, as you can see in the names of the Arabic women linked on this article.

So, aside of linking Nahla with Swahili (you cannot have syllables ending in -h in Swahili and giving it random translations) and also saying nala means gift (gift in swahili is zawadi (which is, in fact, a real borrow from Arabic زَوَاد‎), I will remove the Maltese nonsense.

Someone knowing Arabic should try to find the REAL Arabic etymology. I, at least remove the fake ones related to other languages. I mean, at least we know is a real Arabic name used by Arabic women.

PS. There is also not even a single source to a Sanskrit link not even to a single Indian woman sporting this name.
