Re: Sahrish -or- Sehrish
I couldn't tell you which one meant which (though through translation, they are most likely the same name translated differently from the original text), but I have a friend, who is of Arabic descent who is third generation English, Sehrish and everyone says "SEH-rish", a bit like "SAIR-rish", but with a shorter a.

We end up naming our daughter as Sahrish mean sunrise. This is close to Sahar meaning dawn. Thanks all!
