[Facts] Nesuha
I'm looking for information about the name Nesuha (f). It's the name of my new sponsor child. She lives in Ethiopia and her family belongs to the Silti ethnic group. I believe the family is Muslim.TIA!

Someone more knowledgeable should respond, but there is an Arabic root nasuh which means something like sincerity (often found in the religious context taubat-an-nasuha meaning sincere return or repentance, especially in reference to 66:8 of the holy book). Since names of Arabic origin are popular in many Islamic cultures, this could be related to the name you are searching.Take all this with a lump of salt: I have no knowledge either of Islam, Arabic or this name.
