Name spelling Inaya vs Anaiya

amelie · February 27, 2008, 10:58am

My husband and i love the name but prefer the spelling with Anaiya-

The arabic is with an Ein but i think the way it is pronounced A is fine. Anyone have any other suggestions.

Anaiya sounds more correct than Inaya.

Well according to the Arabic Language .. the correct Pronounciation of it is ... ''Inaya''.. with an Ein (Kasrah/Zer) under the Ain.

Very Nice name btw. :biggthumb

Re: Name spelling Inaya vs Anaiya

Thanks all we agree- the Anaiya does look better and seems to go better with the way the name is pronounced.

I find alot of Pakistanis go with Inaya- which then gets pronounced In Aya

vs A Nai Ya

Re: Name spelling Inaya vs Anaiya

is it a derivative of inaiyat?

how about inaiya?

Re: Name spelling Inaya vs Anaiya

FF yes it is-

"I" at the beginning throws me off. I still think people would say IN aiy A while A may give more the sound of Ein.

Re: Name spelling Inaya vs Anaiya

enaiya?

my only issue with A in the start is that it will never get pronounced the way ain with a zer is pronounced.

Re: Name spelling Inaya vs Anaiya

Spelling aside, we have to make sure that the name keeps the original pronunciation, when we spell it in different language.

You do it to the best of your ability .. but to me, it should either starts with I or maybe E

Re: Name spelling Inaya vs Anaiya

i love Inayah- a friend's daughter has that name.
but i've looked it up and Inayah/Inaya means Concern... not Solitude...

could they be two different names entirely?

are you saying Anaiya would be pronounced Eh-na-ya? or Uh-nay-a?
cos Inayah is pronounced IN-ayah... im confused :p
