Meaning and origin of Tashfeen
Tashfeen descends from Tāshfīn, a Berber name. Its fame rests on Yūsuf ibn Tāshfīn, the Almoravid leader who established the city of Marrakesh and won a celebrated victory over Alfonso VI at Zallaqa in 1086. Its original Berber meaning has been lost, and the frequently repeated claim that it means 'healer' cannot be traced to any reliable source. Today Pakistani families use it more than anyone.
