Hamza

Comment left Mar 26, 2008: "Hamza actually means "Father of the Arabs". Hamza - Abu Arab Hamza the The Prophet's uncle was "nicknamed" the "Lion of God" because of his prowess in the battlefield. Hamza is NOT a letter in the Arabic Language, Hamza-Alif is... Big Difference! However you pronounce it I don't care just don't make it short and call me Ham because then I'll have to beat you! This Hamza is 100% Red Blooded US Male!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 23, 2007: "When I found out that I am expecting a boy, I knew from the start I would name him Hamza. I wanted a name that represents my religion, is unique, and easy to pronounce. Many times it is pronounced as "HAMza" by people, but I correct them as well. Few people told me that I should have chosen a different name, but I realize that many people who know the meaning of it, treat my son with such a respect. And I will teach my son to carry the name with respect and pride." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 18, 2007: "I enjoy my name Hamza because nobody ever has this name. I have only come across less than 10 people with this name in the United States. The majority of the time I met people with this name were at local Islamic Masjids. Through school teachers/students pronounced it either "HAM-za" (which I was quick to correct due to its affiliation with pork), and "HAUM-ZA" (which I did not mind so much). The true pronounciation is "Humm-ZAH". This was the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad's (May Peace Be Upon Him) Uncle. He was known as the "Lion of God". The famous Hollywood movie of the 1970's entitled 'The Message' will assure you the name is actually very famous. Hamza is also a letter in the Arabic alphabet." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Feb 08, 2007: "My name is Hamza. This name is of Arabic origin. It is a popular name for Muslims of many nationalities because Hamza was a great person in Islamic history. Hamza was an uncle of the Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him and his family). Hamza was a great warrior and defender of the Muslims. The name Hamza is very easy to say. It is pronounced just as it is spelled. Poeple often mispronounce it however by reversing the order of the "m" and "z". I frequently hear people mistakenly say "Hazma" instead of Hamza."
