Owmemah is an indirect Quranic name for girls that comes from Umm (mother). It means “little Umm,” i.e. little mother, a loving nickname for a little girl, suggesting that one day she will grow up and be a mother. It is derived from the A-M-M root which is used in many places in the Quran, such as in the word Umm and the word Ummah (nation, creed).
