What does Widad mean?

From the Arabic widad (وداد) 'love, affection, friendship', from the root wadda 'to love' (also seen in the divine name al-Wadud). Attested as 'love' in standard Arabic lexicography; Wedad is a variant transcription.

What does Shula mean?

Widely cited as an Arabic name meaning 'flame', matching the Arabic word 'shu'la' ('flame, blaze'). Disputed: Shula is also well established as a Hebrew short form of Shulamit (from 'shalom', 'peace'), and some sources favour that origin, so the fire meaning is best treated as the Arabic reading.
