Meaning, use and context
SEDRA identifies this as a noun, not a proper noun. The meaning “light” is therefore secure lexical evidence, while a claim that it is a traditional personal name would require another source.
The unpointed spelling shown here is Classical Syriac. Eastern and Western vocalization conventions can differ. A dictionary’s written transcription should not be advertised as a reviewed recording of every modern variety.
Nuhra appeared in both original gender collections. It is one catalogue identity, not two distinct names. Neither that placement nor the attractive meaning establishes modern gender frequency or popularity.
