Name meaning and origin
Khurma is a name of Persian origin: in Persian, "xormā" is the name of a tall tree with feathery leaves that grows in hot-climate countries, and of its sweet fruit. The word entered many languages from Persian, including Azerbaijani Turkic. As a name, it figuratively represents "a sweet, pleasant, endearing" person.
In Azerbaijan, fruit and plant names have long been beloved as girl names; Khurma is part of this tradition and is connected with an idea of sweetness and abundance. Although the Khurma fruit holds a special place in Islamic culture, the name Khurma does not appear as a personal name in the Quran; in Islamic terms, however, it carries no prohibition.
