Full Meaning of Jewher

Jewher is an indirect Quranic name for both boys and girls that means “essence”, “precious stone”. It is the plural of Jewhera. It is derived from the J-H26-R root (visible, manifest, open, loud) which is used in many places in the Quran:

The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said, “Show us Allah outright,” so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf [for worship] after clear evidences had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear authority. (Quran 4:153)

Surely He knows what is spoken aloud and He knows what you hide. (Quran 21:110)
