Shahla (given name)

Shahla (Arabic: شَهْلَاء [ALA-LC: Shahlāʼ]; Azerbaijani: Şəhla; Bengali: শাহলা; Indonesian: Syahla; Persian: شَهلا; Tajik: Шаҳло; Urdu: شَہلا; Uzbek: Shahlo) is a feminine given name used throughout the Muslim world.

Origin
Region of originMuslim world

It is based on the feminine form of the Arabic adjective أَشْهَل (ʾašhal) in the sense "whose eyes have شُهْلَة (šuhla)", which is said to have meant "a blue or greenish hue" in Classical Arabic, or "black with some blueness in them" (navy blue color).[1] Some sources also say "black with redness" (i.e. very dark maroon).[1] Others say the name means "dark-grey-eyed", "hazel-eyed", or simply "who has beautiful eyes".

The colloquial Arabic spelling of the name omits the hamza (as is usually the case when the hamza is in final position), thus rendering شهلا, with the stress on the first syllable. Incidentally, omission of the final hamza is also the standard in Persian and Urdu.

Alternate transcriptions include: Chahla, Chahlaa, Chehla, Chehlaa, Shehla, Shehlaa, Shahlaa.[1]
