Very interesting insight to our name. Being born and raised in the US, my name has been a challenge. I have no ethnic backround to rely upon or question, I was adpoted, but my parents kept my first name. I am told that Zubin Mehta's mother name was Tehmina, so it can't be that uncommon. I have gone from to "accepting" my name to "embracing" it. 25 years ago some dear friends asked if they could name their new born daughter after me. They named her Tehmi. We remained friends, took trips together as families, etc. over the years. Nearly 3 years ago my son married my name sake, Tehmi! She is a beautiful tall, blonde, blue eyed Tehmi! It is a good name- we give our own meaning to our names. I am another Tehmina, but use the shortened form Tehmi. Very interesting insight to our name.

However, i have read in numerous islamic books that due to this name being meaninless, it should not be kept. After inquiring with numerous scholers, they advised me to change her name. However, being an Islamic scholer myself,my perspective is that if a true and pleasent meaning can be found then I belive there is no problem in keeping the name From Tehmina's Husband Hi

Feels good to know there are different meanings of my name. Its very difficult to explain the meaning of my name whenever questioned. My father told the meaning of my name is "delicate as a petal of rose". This is what ive been telling for the past 30 years. So..my name still remains a confusion.... Tehmina’s salam to one and all…

He went to the Iranian Embassy more than 30 years ago to request for a list of girls names in order to find a unique name for me. He loved the name 'Tehmina'and inquired about its meaning. The name is Persian in origin and simply means 'precious'. The only other meaning I have come across in my lifetime (and which may be Arabic in origin from what I was told) is 'complex/sophiticated'.Hope this helps! I've noticed over time that the name is not terribly unique. However, regardless of the origin or meaning, I have only ever received compliments for having such a pretty name :) For all the Tehmina’s out there wondering what your name means, here’s a little anecdote:
