Shahla (given name)


Shahla is a feminine given name used throughout the Muslim world.
It is based on the feminine form of the Arabic adjective أَشْهَل in the sense "whose eyes have شُهْلَة ", which is said to have meant "a blue or greenish hue" in Classical Arabic, or "black with some blueness in them". Some sources also say "black with redness". Others say the name means "dark-grey-eyed", "hazel-eyed", or simply "who has beautiful eyes".
The colloquial Arabic spelling of the name omits the hamza, thus rendering شهلا, with the stress on the first syllable. Incidentally, omission of the final hamza is also the standard in Persian and Urdu.
Alternate transcriptions include: Chahla, Chahlaa, Chehla, Chehlaa, Shehla, Shehlaa, Shahlaa.
