The English word "princess" is translated into Somali as amiirad.
The term amiirad is a noun used to refer to a female member of a royal family.
Meaning: female member of royal family (noun)

Did you know?

  • The word amiirad is derived from the Arabic word 'amir', which originally meant a commander or a leader rather than just a royal person.
  • While amiirad refers to a royal princess, Somali culture historically relied on a decentralized clan system rather than a centralized monarchy with a single royal court.
  • Unlike the English 'princess', which can sometimes imply a spoiled person in slang, amiirad in Somali almost always retains a sense of dignity and high esteem.

Examples in context

  • Amiirad yar ayaa guriga imaanaysa.
    A little princess is coming to the house.
  • Amiirad ayaa dalka maamulaysa.
    A princess is ruling the country.
