Meet Istarlin- A Somali Uber driver in London

[Figo]

Masha Allah. Look at how much work she puts in. Her smile can light up a room. She's so positive and kindhearted. People like her make me proud to be Somali. May Allah bless her in this life and the next.

Great watch and mama Istarlin is a strong and hardworking lady. Wish her all the best.

N.B

I thought she speaks English like Sijui Somalis, is she a Somali from Kenya?

Istarliin is a common Somali name. It's some sort of a beautiful tree, I think.

Awh I love this wallahi, she's the sweetest! I hope she stays safe though, being an uber driver can be quite scary.

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

She has that Sijui Kenyan English accent

I’ve been told that the name Istarliin came from the British pound (currency). The Arabs say, gineh Istarliin and Somalis say, Istarliin.

I got a relative called Istarlin and that is how it was explained to me. Let's see what others say.

Aussie is right. I have family who is called istarlin as well and yes the name comes from the british currency. A way to say someone is worth a lot...

Why does she have a Kenyan accent in English? Her accent doesn't sound Somali

She needs to put her girl on a diet.
