What people expect from a Duru
Duru is built from soft sounds. Studies of name sounds find people expect someone with a soft name to be warm, agreeable and calm. Being rare in the US, it stands out, and will be spelt back to you a few times.
The meaning is about kindness and light. A name can't give a child kindness, but it's a nice thing to explain to them one day.
A good fit if you hope for: a kind heart, the star of the room, a calm peacemaker.
