- Meaning
- a Soqotri masculine name of indigenous origin meaning the tall one or he who stands above; the Soqotri people of the island of Socotra in the Arabian Sea speak one of the Modern South Arabian languages, a family unrelated to Arabic and preserving features of ancient Semitic languages that have been lost elsewhere; Socotra's extreme isolation — it was called the island of bliss by ancient traders — has allowed the Soqotri language and naming traditions to develop independently, and names like Firhil carry no Arabic equivalents
