Giwahir is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “jewels”, “jewelry”, “precious stones”, it is the plural of Jawhar (meaning “essence”, “precious stone”, a name for both boys and girls), which itself is the plural of Jawhara. It is derived from the J-H26-R root which has meanings of brilliance, visibility and openness. The root is used in many places of the Quran:

And when you said: O Moses! we will not believe in you until we see Allah manifestly, so the punishment overtook you while you looked on. (Quran 2:55)

Say: “Can you imagine what your condition will be if God’s chastisement befalls you, either suddenly or in a [gradually] perceptible manner? [But then-] will any but evildoing folk [ever] be destroyed? (Quran 6:47)

AND [know, O men, that] whether you keep your beliefs secret or state them openly, He has full knowledge indeed of all that is in [your] hearts. (Quran 67:13)
