What is the meaning of the name Norashikin ?

The baby name Norashikin is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced nor-ah-SHEE-kin (approx. IPA: /nɔrɑˈʃiːkɪn/).

Norashikin is Malay in Origin.

Norashikin is a Malay feminine compound name with Arabic roots. It fuses Nur/Nor (from Arabic nūr, “light” or “radiance”) with Asyikin/Asyiqin, a Malay adaptation of Arabic ‘āshiqīn, meaning “lovers” or “the devoted.” Together it conveys “light of love,” “radiance of devotion,” or, more broadly, “illumination of affection.” In Malay orthography, the -sy- represents the /ʃ/ sound corresponding to Arabic sh, and Nor is a common variant of Nur in compound names.

Used primarily in Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore since the mid-20th century, Norashikin fits the Malay-Muslim tradition of pairing Nur with a second Arabic element and has been borne by public and royal figures, lending it a poised, contemporary-classic image. Variants and spacings include Nor Ashikin, Nur Ashikin, Noorashikin, Nor Asyikin, Nur Asyiqin, and Norasyikin; related compounds include Nurul Asyikin. Shikin or Syikin is a familiar nickname.
