Re: Unusual names for desi kids..
Not sure what the name means, but it is the name of a Sahabi, who is known to have been given ‘ghusl’ by the angels after achieving martyrdom.
This reminds me a cousin of my mother’s has four daughters. Two she named Hanzala and Huzaifa, which I found odd, because both are male names. I figured she must have phonetically chosen the names, as those ending with ‘ah’ at end are usually female names in Arabic…
