سُهَى (ستارۂ مدھم)

Suha (سُهَى) is an authentic Arabic feminine name meaning a small or faint star, rooted in classical Arabic vocabulary and poetic usage. It is not a Qur'anic proper name but appears in Arabic lexica and literary contexts describing a subtle celestial light. Suha has been adopted sporadically by Muslim families in diverse regions, including Bosnian and Malay communities, for its delicate sound and celestial imagery. Related names that share the star/heavenly theme include [[Suhayla]] and [[Najma]], which appear more frequently; Suha remains noticeably rarer and more understated in usage. As an option for parents seeking a compact, culturally grounded Islamic name with gentle astronomical connotations, Suha is historically attested and linguistically transparent.
