[Facts] Nafisa
I wondered if anyone could confirm the meaning of the female name Nafisa? Less reputable sites say it is Arabic and means precious. The woman I knew was originally from Tanzania. Thanks :)

Digest of Muslim Names by Fatimah Suzanne Al Ja'fari, and A Dictionary of Muslim Names by Salahuddin Ahmed both agree that Nafisah or Nafisa means "precious".
