Eebow you're funny. You listed two Arabic names and two typical Abgaal names :lol: :lol:

Caynab is Arabic - still grape

Warfaa is Arabic and often they use it for females.

Hilowle is typical Abgaal name. Not sure what it means.

Hiraab is too not sure its meaning either.

Loool. Hilowle means somebody who is missed. Qof hiloow leh. Last i knew it was a standard somali name.

Caynab is not arab. There is à difference between canab and caynab.

Corrections,

Caynab is a name given to Somali men only when they are too dark. Even dark horses are known us as Caynab. Check any Somali whose name is Caynab adnd you will see they are very dark.

Warfaa is Somali and is equivalent to Warsame = the one that came with good news.

Hilowle comes from the Somali word Hillay. When Somali nomads are moving from one place to another, their luggage are known as "Hillay". Hillowle is the one with the hillay. It is the name given to a tall, strong man who can carry luggage. I also saw people who say it means the humble one who is strong and can carry his luggage.

Hiraab: First, abuu Turaab was the nickname of Ali Binu Abii Taalib (May Allah be pleased with him) and it means Father of Soil. So in this case, Turaab means soil, or "ciid or carro" in Somali. Now Hiraab could be an Arabic/Semitic Name, but first we can divide the name into two parts: (1) Hir; (2) aab. In Somali, "Hir" means the strong rain that comes late at night; aab- could be the aabe or father of "Hir", or it could be an Arabic/Semitic word that has a different meaning. Keep in mind Somali is an ancient Semitic language, so there could be connections here between Turaab, Hiraab, or other names that end with "-aab". Nevertheless, I belief Hiraab means the who was born when it was raining late at night.
