The Name Jamaya
I've been searching for the meaning of the name Jamaya, which we named our daughter. I have read your archived postings, but wanted to know if anyone has found additional info since 2004. I have been doing internet seraches and haven't been able to verify the "reunion" meaning of Jamaya.Thanks!

"Jamayah" (if I am thinking of the same thing you are is pron JA'-myah) is widely used to indicate universities, like "al-jamyah Notre Dame," for example, would be the university of ND. in the context of "reunion" it could be said that "jamyah" is like a council or gathering or group, which reunion could fall under. I hope this helps. :)
