Ismuka: what your name really means

Short videos and pages that explain one Arabic name at a time, as the classical Arabic dictionaries define it: the root, the meaning, who says so, in which volume and page, and where the word appears in the Quran.

No personality traits, no luck, no numerology: the dictionaries say nothing of the kind. When a name isn't Arabic, we say so, as the dictionaries do.
