I found this on reddit

Kaahin= Kaah, which is synoymous with Ilays or Iftiin. Usually this name is given to someone who born early dawn or sunrise. A synoymous name with Kaahin is the name Waabari. The feminine name of Kaahin is Kaaha.

Isn't that semitic name? It is sound exactly like ka-hin

can you guys give the meaning to some of these names?

 

[Desert Flower]

Do you guys think that twins should have similar names? i.e. Hassan and Hussein, or Mecca and Medinah?

Me personally, I'd choose 2 that I really like.
