i thought hilowle is derived from the term hilow (tabid mise la xasuusto)..basically hilowle means qof la xasuusto

Nah boys.

Both Caynab and Warfa are Arabic. Thanks for trying guys.

Caynab - العنب

Warfa - وارفا

So far I found nothing but appreciated gentlemen.

I wanted Somali phrases/word not baby names

I'm in love with the name Hilowle right now for my future son inshaAllah, but why are there such conflicting meanings online and on here lol
