Full Meaning of Gezalle

Gezalle is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “young gazelle”, “female gazelle”, and gazelles in general. It is the source for the English word gazelle. The gazelle is admired for its intelligence, beauty and elegant movement. Gezalle is derived from the Gh-Z-L root (yarn, love-speak, gazelle) which is used in the Quran in Surat an-Nahl:

Do not, like the woman who unravels her yarn after its strands have been firmly spun, use your oaths as a means of deceiving one another, just because one community could become bigger than another. God is only testing you by means of this. On the Day of Resurrection He will make it clear to you what you differed about. (Quran 16:92)
