The Beauty

Jamila Valiyeva

 My name is Jamila. Jamila is an Arabic word that means beauty or beautiful. Since I was a child, I did not like my name. I thought that I had a difficult and long name. I always hoped that when I would become a grownup, I would immediately change my name. However, at the age of fifteen, I started to like my name, especially when people told me that this name suits me because in their opinion, I am beautiful. That is why I changed my mind and started to like it.  The only thing that is a bit awkward for me is that Spanish speakers pronounce my name with an “H” like Hamila. In fact, Hamila means “pregnant” in Azerbaijani, and it is funny but also not because automatically I start to laugh, and people get confused. Although my parents did not know how to name me. They changed my name for three times. Sometimes, I am glad that they did, but sometimes I think that would I like it as I do like Jamila. Frankly, I have no idea. That is why I like and am glad that I was named Jamila.
