Help[Facts] Re: MEANING OF MY FIRST NAME IN ARABIC
in reply to a message by SHAFEE VIRANI
Shafi and Shafi'a are variants of Shafiz/Shafia from the word shafiq meaning 'compassionate, sympathetic, from shafaqa 'to sympathize' or 'to pity'. I would assume the Shafee spelling was a phonetic rendering.
