In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Shumaila is a girls' name used in Pakistan and by Indian Muslims, but we could not find the name itself in the Arabic, Persian or Urdu dictionaries. It is usually linked with Arabic shamāʾil, the plural of shimāl, which Lane's lexicon defines as a nature or natural disposition; al-Shamāʾil is also the title of collections describing the Prophet's appearance and character. Families use the name to mean "beautiful" or "one with good qualities", but its exact origin is uncertain.
