Some unusual names I've come across recently.

Leterance
Guyzer
Diandra
Enow
Koree
Ndeye
Mulki
Muluken
Zvirimumwoyo
Ayana
Shakoora
Wafa

If anyone knows any of the origins or meanings of any of these, I'd love to know! I know some of them are clearly ethnic, but the first two guys are from the Southern US.

I had a class last semester with a girl named Ayana. I think its pretty.

ndeye sounds really nigerian to me. and wafa is an arabic name, pronouced like "wah-FEH" if i remember correctly. shakoora might be some kind of variant of the arabic name "shakira" which means thankfulness in arabic.

guyzer is just bad.

I looked up the meaning of Enow (because I was curious) and it says that it's short for Genowefa, which apparently is the Polish version of Genevieve. Hopefully that Enow is a girl? =P
According to the same site, Wafa means 'loyalty and is Arabic.
Ayana is African and means 'beautiful blossom'. Now, that's just great IMO! =)
I had no luck looking up the other names ;)

Thanks! I don't know if Enow is a woman or not. I encountered it online, so there is no way to know for sure.
