Alisa: Hebrew name meaning great happiness. Rihanna: Arabic name meaning sweet basil. Jemima: Hebrew name meaning "dove"

My comment:

I didn't find Arabic definitions for two of the names, but they were listed as Hebrew, which means that it is more than likely that they are used by Arabs either as is or with a slight change (JEmima to JAmima for example).
Best of luck
