Which is a common misconception for others who look up my name here. It's actually a name that appears in the Qoran, means "ant eggs" (-_-), & is mentioned for its medicinal properties.
So I can always say to anyone "At least your name doesn't mean "Ant Eggs".
I have, however, met some fellow arabs whose names translate directly & exclusively to "garbage". wtf? It's not a common name, mind you. I guess the parents just really didn't want that daughter.
