Nala: what's the real meaning?

[atouchofgrace]

What's the real meaning of the name Nala? Usually, people say Nala means gift but in SP's special features it says Nala means nothing, they've just because it sounds pretty. I came across with this information:

[quote]Nala is sometimes listed as being a feminine name of African origin and meaning beloved. It is also occasionally reported as being gift in Swahili, however this isn't correct. The common Swahili word for gift is zawadi[/quote]

And with this one:
[quote]The meaning of the name Nala is successful.[/quote]

And this one:
[quote]In Swahili the meaning of the name Nala is gift.[/quote]

And this one:
[quote]The name Nala means queen.[/quote]

Whatever it means, it must be pretty.

Just look at Simba, I made the stupid mistake of believing it only meant lion, that was grossly incorrect
