In the Persian language this is also the name given to the planet Venus, therefore it can also mean "morning star".
The name Soraya became more popular from the 1950s, as it was the name of Princess Soraya, who was married to the Shah of Iran.
The Arabic word that gave rise to the name Soraia can also be translated as “princess” or “precious”, in alternative meanings.
In fact, Soraia was the name of many Arab princesses, giving it a meaning linked to royalty.]]> 2022-02-13 22:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/8mkhmyepsrahcr4g/wish/2045013465 https://padlet.com/rita100/8mkhmyepsrahcr4g/wish/2046892859 The Finnish version Eeva comes of course from the international Eve, which means "life". I'm sure that my mom didn't think of the meaning when I got my name. As most of the people in Finland, also my parents decided a name that they liked. Some families want to preserve some certain names in the families, but most often a child is named after his/her parents preferences.]]> 2022-02-14 18:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/8mkhmyepsrahcr4g/wish/2046892859 https://padlet.com/rita100/8mkhmyepsrahcr4g/wish/2047339957 Carlos is a Spanish and Portuguese variant of Charles, which derived from the Old Germanic name Carl.

And nowadays it's fashionable to use the old finnish names like Olavi, Hermanni and Kerttu.
