    Who ever wrote that stupid comment about what they know is apparently very ignorant. My name is Sumyyah and I also know others with that name. Whom happen to love people and care about their well being. So who ever hurt you please try to work that out with them. Don’t blame others for what someone done to you. Remember hurt people hurt others. Don’t be a victim be a solution.

    My name is Sumayyah, i sincerely care a lot about people, and i do not believe i would be arrogant and ‘show off’. I have a few friends with the name, some doctors, some counsellors, and others with genuinely people-caring skills.

    why are people so extra nowadays, just because she is called sumayyah doesnt mean she is a show off or isnt nice honestly for those who rely on meanings dont cause the name of a person doesnt go with character thats different, these beutiful islamic names are for us to be named and be like the orgin of those people who have been named e.g sumayyah (ra) , think of the name sumayyah as the first female martyr in islam and aim to be like her ,inshallah

    Everyone is different and unique in their OWN way. There may be a sumayya you know who is arrogant etc. But that is HER character. The Arabic meaning of the name Sumayyah is ‘high up’ And although not everyone lives up to their names, the meaning of the name never changes and nor does the name become a bad name based on the character of the person who poses that name, may allah (swt) guide us all !ameen .

    Assalamualiakum
    I am and am proud to be Sumayyah,
    *” What I know above people called sumayyah is that they are difficult to know their ways, show off, naturally stupid, don’t want to know issues concerning others, don’t need help, etc;).”*
    Let me introduce myself to make you change your mind on -Sumayyah-
    I want to become a wanderer traveling around the world helping people
    and spreading Islam.
    -”Don’t want to know issues concerning others”-
    hope this is off the line
    -”show off, naturally stupid,”-
    Allahumdulliah, I am very smart and modest and the people I know with the same name are Intellegain and modest
    -” don’t need help”-
    I agree with these three words because I usually do it myself and don’t want help but that does not mean that we don’t like to help.
    -” they are difficult to know their ways”-
    Not really
    I hope that this will make you change your mind about it
    and also the one you mentioned must not be very one
    I hope you will forgive me if I offended you in any way
