Semaa is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means âher status was raisedâ, âshe became exaltedâ, âshe became honoredâ. The difference between this name and Semaaa (sky) is that Semaa has the emphasis on the first syllable (SAma), while Semaaaâs emphasis is on the second syllable (saMAA). Semaa is derived from the S-M-A root (âhigh statusâ, âskyâ, ânameâ) which is used in many places in the Quran.
