My apologies for not responding to your question. My epithet is no
great secret (to those who understand Arabic (which i don't, just
yet)). I merely managed to miss your message in the usual plethora of
posts.
"al-shazhiyya" means "the eccentric" (feminine ending - i guess
masculine would be "al-shazhi")
Anahita Gauri al-shazhiyya bint-Karim al-hakim al-Fassi
(not a registerable name, but i'm working on one)
