To see; or a desert tree
In Arabic, Randa refers to a scented tree or shrub, often associated with pleasant fragrance. It is also sometimes interpreted as a derivative of the name Miranda, meaning 'admirable' or 'worthy of being seen' in Latin. It remains a rare but accessible choice in the United States.
