Thinking about the name

Yunis

Arabic origin

A streamlined form of Yunus (Arabic for 'dove'), Yunis carries the same symbolism of peace, gentleness, and spiritual grace. The name has Quranic resonance as the name of the Prophet Jonah and appeals to families seeking a short, melodic name with deep religious significance.
