Hello everyone I hope someone can shine some light on why I had to do this.... Today Abdul and I went to the adoule to sign the "book" and I was told I had to take an arab/muslim name Abdul and his brother tried to explain this to me as best they could but I am still kinda confused.... It's not a big deal I just want to understand the reasons why.... I was told that if I didn't take an arab/muslim name I would be put in the "book" as christian and or marriage certificate would also state that I was christian....Abdul and I were both taken a back because neither one of us had heard of this before....

Anyhoo I asked Abdul to choose and he chose Shayma :0)

hi ABDULnTAHLISHA the meaning of the shayma

[ syll. (s)hay-ma, sh-a-yma ] The girl name Shayma is pronounced -SHEY-Mah †. Shayma's origin, as well as its use, is in the Arabic language. Derived from the wordshaymaa meaning 'good -natured'. The name was borne by the fostersister of muhammad saw Variant forms of Shayma include schaima, seyma (Turkish), and shaima (Arabic).and another meaning of shayma is having a beauty spot another meaning of shayma is to look out. and remember on thing name meaning is always affect human and human nature and i think shayma is better name for you شيماء from شيم plural of شيمة i am not quiet sure about what it means in english but i would say (integrity)really a good female name i like it.

world popular female name shayma. shayma tash the worlds hottest female comedian she belong to califonia usa

My marriage contract does not list my religion. I don't know where they would get that. In the translation to english however, it does list me as a spinster and my husband as a bachelor.... I didn't think that was too fair! I was only 25 at the time and already a spinster!

I don't know too much about this, but I remember reading how the Amazigh had to give their newborn babies Arab names in Morocco. It was some kind of law.

Congratulations. I like the name given to you. I did not have to do this and I have heard many women speak of their "Arabic" name given to them by their husband and/or his family. I read through my marriage papers and I do not see a reference to religion. I am also curious as to why this was done. I will have to ask my husband :-) and see if he can shed some light on this.
