Name meaning and origin
Shamsa is formed by adding a feminine suffix to the word şəms (sun) in the Arabic language and means little sun. The word is also known as the name of a circular, sun-shaped ornament used in Islamic decorative art in manuscripts and architecture, and this ornament is called şəmsə.
The name stands as a separate, softer-sounding form alongside the names Shams and Shamsiyya, which already exist in the Azerbaijan registry; in the Arabic world it is used as an independent girl name. Since its religious content is clear and positive, there is no obstacle to using it.
