Well, for eg, I love Amara and was considering it if this baby is a girl. However, the Latin root for the name means bitter or sour. That’s not a positive / good meaning. I think it probably happens inadvertently because not everyone looks into or cares about the meaning as much as Muslims tend to, they just go for the sound of the name. I also like Adriana but it means “from Hadria” which is some area somewhere and what the heck lol. It’s not a bad meaning- it’s just not relevant to me kwim?

Interestingly, Hadria is another spelling for the city of Adria, which is in northern Italy.
