Arabic origin
“Derived from the Arabic sharia, meaning 'Islamic law' or more broadly 'the path to water,' this name carries profound spiritual and cultural weight. While the term refers to Islamic jurisprudence, as a personal name it connects to faith, guidance, and the Islamic tradition. The name has gained use among Muslim families seeking names rooted in Islamic concepts.”
