MEANING & HISTORY
What does Nurija mean?
The exact Nurija entry in Wissen’s first-name lexicon identifies an Arabic name and gives radiant and beautiful as its glosses. The entry is brief and does not analyse each historical suffix, so no more elaborate phrase is reconstructed.
Independent Croatian name documentation shows the exact form in use under more than one gender category there. These sources do not assign a Croatian or Arab identity to a Philippine bearer.
