About Juwayriyyah

A significant name in Islamic tradition, Juwayriyyah was borne by the eighth wife of the Prophet Muhammad. Also spelled Juwayriya, Juwairiyya, and Juwairiya, the name has two meanings depending on which syllable is emphasized, though many use them interchangeably.

If pronounced juh-WAY-rih-yah, it is said to come from jara, literally meaning "to flow" but more poetically interpreted as "young woman" on her way to maturity. If it's pronounced juh-way-REE-yah, it comes from either Jooriyyah or ward juri, both associated with the Damask rose.

Pronounced joo-way-REE-uh.
