Sharifa Akeel is a Filipina beauty queen, model, and aspirant politician who ran for gubernatorial office in 2022 but lost. She is married to career politician Esmael Mangudadatu.
The Turkish form of this name is Şerife. [noted -ed]
There's a 15th century Spanish ballad called "The Bridal of Andalla" about a Moorish woman called Xarifa (or, in some versions, Jarifa). I believe Xarifa is an Old Spanish-ised form of Sharifa, as "x" was pronounced like "sh" in Old Spanish. I prefer the medieval spelling Xarifa to the more phonetic Sharifa.
