I’ve come across a name of a Sahaba, Dihyah Kalbi. I wanted to know the exact spelling in Arabic for the name, Dihyah. I’ve come across دحية and on one website the meaning of the name was “military commander”. I wanted to confirm if this was correct. I saw that the name could also be pronounced “Dahyah” but wanted to confirm here.
