Could it be Divana
in india and afghanistan, not sure which language, Divana means crazy, but in the sense of being madly in love. this word is used in iran, but it has lost it's connotation of love, it just means crazy.just a thought.

Yes it's true, Deewana (Dee-VAN-a) means crazy in love in hindi.

So, what do you think of my translation of Tamreen? Not too 'horsey' for you, I hope?
It's Dee-WAH-na by the way.

horsey ? please do not make fun of me sad sad plight... i am trying to forget about that... (horse in question is not winning races!) it's really amazing for me to have found a meaning to my name, although it's not really special "to make supple", hummmm what was my mom thinking of when she named me ??? plus, i now know that Tamreen also means "lessons" in Turkish, and my last name (Arif)means "knowledgeable" in arabic. so basically i'm Lessons Knowledgeable... hummm sadabout the Dee-WAH-na thing, sorry about that mate, my 1st language is bengali and we say Dee-VAH-na, so i end up getting mixed up sometimes. gotta forgive for that one.anyways, muchas gracias para tu ayuda.
