Scholars differ on this name
Hamah means 'head' or 'owl'; pre-Islamic Arabs linked the owl to bad omens. The reported bearer was a jinn said to descend from Iblis, so the name has no good model.
ہامہ کا مطلب 'سر' یا 'الو' ہے، اور جاہلیت میں الو کو نحوست سے جوڑا جاتا تھا۔ اس نام والا ایک جن تھا جسے ابلیس کی نسل سے بتایا گیا ہے، اس لیے یہ نام اچھی مثال نہیں رکھتا۔
