To precises Ramon text
First: I'ts in arabic and "Zarkaa al Yamama" mean THE BLUE DOVE refering to a
women in the muslim islamic religion who was a non beleiver and due to an event in
her life convert to the islamic religion.
A lot of Arabic names streets, citys, building... as Ramon says are named to honor
her name. There is also a famous battle in year 633 the YAMAMA battle who is
probably connected to this. But my Arabic studies ends here.
Feel free to coment an precises but the MYSTEROUS satellite has a definite arab
origin as per this name.
