Reference Profile

Etymology

A compound of umm ('mother') and Ammarah, following the classical Arabic kunya convention of naming a woman as 'mother of' a child or virtue rather than only by her given name.

Islamic Significance

The kunya is the teknonym of Arabic naming, formed with abu, father of, or umm, mother of, and a child's name. It was often the most common way of addressing someone: the Prophet was Abu al-Qasim, and Aisha was called Umm Abdullah after her nephew.
