Who is this impostor? :hitler: She can never match up to the real Mariyam. :beee: PS: As far as I know, the name Zakaria is mostly used among Muslims of the subcontinent. Have never heard of any Arab or Iranian named Zakaria.

Strange. Why would the Persians use the last letter of the English alphabet. :confused: :P From what I've observed, the name Zakaria (even as a first name- rare though) is only among Indian and Pakistani Muslims. I haven't come across/heard of an Arab or an Indonesian or any other Muslim having this name. Typically ( not always true), those from an Urdu background would use elongated vowels in muti-syllabic names. Many of the names, due to their elongated Urdu pronunciation are homonyms to words that mean something completely different in Arabic. Some more examples- I've never heard of any Muslim who is not from the subcontinent having the names: Muzammil Muhaseeb Naila etc and a few more.

Agreed. No match for the real Mariyam. :two_thumbs_up:

Zakaria is a town in Kurdistan/erstwhile Persia.So that name has definitely originated there. As for the other names, they have been modified as time has passed. Most sultanates followed the Persian caliphate in the 15th 16th 17th centuries... So while foot soldiers were assyrinians,Turks,Chagtais and Mongols, their literature was Persian but probably got corrupt as time passed. For example Pad-i-shah in Persian became Badshah in Urdu...
