Word Origin & History

Alma 
fem. proper name, from L. Alma "nourishing," fem. of almus, from alere "to nourish" (see old).

almah 
Egyptian dancing-girl, belly-dancer, 1814, perhaps from Arabic almah (fem. adj.), "learned, knowing," from alama "to know." Or perhaps from a Sem. root meaning "girl" (cf. Heb. alma "a young girl, a damsel").
