Ashima


In the Hebrew Bible, Ashima is one of several deities protecting the individual cities of Samaria who are mentioned specifically by name in 2 Kings 17:30. From the scribes' point of view the cities should not have been making cult images ("idols"), because they had agreed to worship the God of the Israelites that had once lived in the land, as described in some detail in the 2 Kings 17.





Ashima was a West Semitic goddess of fate related to the Akkadian goddess Shimti ("fate"), who was a goddess in her own right but also a title of other goddesses such as Damkina and Ishtar. Damkina, for example, was titled banat shimti, “creator of fate”. The name Ashima could be translated as "the name, portion, or lot" depending on context. It comes from the same root as the Arabian qisma and the Turkish kismet.





As such Ashima is cognate with the South Semitic goddess Manathu (or Manat) whose name meant "the measurer, fate, or portion" who was worshiped by the Nabataean peoples of Jordan and other early South Semitic and Arabian peoples. Both names appear in alternate verses in Ugaritic texts. (In the same way, the name of the goddess Asherah appears in alternate verses with Elath to indicate that both names refer to the same goddess). Ashim-Yahu and Ashim-Beth-El are forms of her name and a variant of her name is also attested in the Hebrew temple in Elephantine in Egypt.





Some speculate that Ashima was praised by tribes in what appears to be Asia Minor and North Africa, but more specifically by Hamath, who were later deported to Samaria in the Land of Israel. The Hebrew Bible states that the goddess should not be worshiped, but that the Samaritans nevertheless worshiped it, together with other deities, clandestinely.





Ashima in hindi has been derived from "Aseema" that is "boundaryless".

Veronica Girl Name


The girl's name Veronica \v(e)-roni-ca, ver(o)-nica\ is pronounced ver-RON-ni-kah. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "true image". Saint Veronica (17th century) was an Italian mystic and saint. She was said to have offered Jesus a cloth to wipe his face as he faltered on his way to crucifixion. She obtained a miraculous "true image" (in Latin "a vera icon") of Jesus' face on the cloth. Also variant of Bernice (Greek) "bringer of victory". The name first appeared in Britain in the 17th century, and spread beyond Catholic families in the 19th century. Actress Veronica Lake.

ASHIMA





Name: Ashima


Gender: F


--Meaning: Endless. Limitless. Without boundaries


Origin: Hindu





*However, In Arabic origins, the name would be Aashima*





The name of Aashima has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts and wonder about their origin. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control.








%26gt;%26gt;I think they're nice names. They're unique.

Reply:yeah.. I told you earlier about Rana... I think its nice cause it fits as a nickname to Veronica and its not that drastic a transition if you want to change your name.. but you know you arent required to change your name if it doesnt mean anything bad against Islam..and Veronica doesnt...


There are many western muslim women who have imigrated to SaudiArabia where I live and they all kept their english names...
Reply:Just so you know, rana is also the Spanish word for frog. Knowing this, I wouldn't name my kid Rana. When I was a kid, I heard this Arab guy call his wife "Rana" and I thought it was hilarious because I thought he kept calling her a frog lol.
Reply:Rani means Queen, I do not know what Rana is.
Reply:I don't know the meaning of any 1 of those but my fav is Bushra which means good news
