Most common names in Somalia according to Forebears database. Is your name on the list?

Imran is a girls name to me

I’ve never seen a guy with that name.

Imraan is the name of the father of Maryam (as). There's a whole chapter of the Qur'an named after him (Aali-'Imraan). It's also a relatively common name for boys.

Weird I thought Jama was the Somali version of Jummah? Crazy that Jama is my last name and I didn’t even know it’s Somali

I haven't come across any ajnabis named Jama. It's a very common Somali name (usually surname) so I assume it's native. I couldn't tell you what it means though.

 

[Dabayl iyo Hilaac]

No, I knew an Amran and yes that is a girl's name. This girl was definitely called Cimraan.

Damn she must have a penis under that abaya with a name like that masculine

I'm surprised Mohamed topped Abdi ...

 

[Yazi]

It is derived from the root word ‘حمد’ or ‘hamida,’ meaning ‘to praise.’
They name boys that in the gulf states and in Indonesia.
Even the name Shukri is used for boys over there.

Not that's different, it's Hamad for boy not Hamada حمد × حمدة is the female version of the name ... There also other varieties for the male name حمودة، حميد، حميدة ... Hamoda, Himid, Hamooda etc ... They come in different ways with the feminine Hamda version حمدة

and farah is a girls name lol

It's due to Caydiid ... Since he gained international notoriety for killing those American soldiers his name was butchered in Arabic from Mohamed Faarax Caydiid to Mohamed Farax Caydiid .... Arab say فرح instead of فارح which is a female name lol.
