Nurie

While Nuri is typically used for boys in Arabic, the Nurie spelling is used across Ethiopia and a number of Slavic counties as a feminine choice. Meaning "my light" from its Arabic roots, it has a gentle and uplifting feel.

Used internationally, it may also be a diminutive of the Spanish, Catalan, and Portuguese Nuria, a place name meaning "place between the valleys" or as a feminization of Nuri or Nuriel, meaning "my fire" and "fire/light of God".

Pronounced NOO-ree.
