Meaning and origin of Shatha
Shatha means a strong, lovely fragrance; it comes from the Arabic shadhā and the root sh-dh-w. In English spelling the 'th' stands for the Arabic letter dhāl, which is said like the 'th' in 'this'. Egyptians pronounce that letter as a 'z', which is why the name usually appears there as Shaza. Iraqi, Gulf and Levantine families are especially fond of it for their daughters.
