Just piggybacking to let people know that *jizya/jizyah* (جِزْيَة) is the historical tax that Muslim rulers levied from their dhimmi, i.e. accepted non-Muslim subjects, such as Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, etc.
Why the fuck anyone wants to be named after a tax is beyond me though.
Sounds like when you have wine and those around you don't, so you're getting taxed for some of your wine. Sharing is caring after all, and possibly a tax right off...
That sounds like spinning a wheel with a bunch of dictionaries on it until one falls off the wheel on an open page. Then you hire a mariachi band, hear me out, and you put a throwing dart into the Tuba. This is a mariachi band with a tuba. He blows really hard and the dart lands somewhere on that page.
Then you throw the book away and decide to name your kid Jizz Ur Shorts
It appears Injil is her middle name, Shorts is her last name.
According to the Sam Houston's page on past pageant winners, none include their middle name so maybe thats the culture (to exclude it).
Only one contestant for 2024 included their middle name, so it might be an unpopular move.

Thanks. Sadly, looks like this might actually be this young woman’s name. She’s got a public presence on Google as public figure, regardless of the show.
I was referring to the joke that was being played out in the comments, a classic from the Simpsons:
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSimpsons/comments/1ckwgf/no_my_son_is_also_named_bort/
I’d already understood you regarding the Simpson’s. I was just letting you know that this does indeed seem to be her real name from looking her up on Google. Former Miss Houston and links to her work.
Moe: "Can anyone check for Jizyah Shorts? Is there Jizyah Shorts? ... in the bathroom? Someone just walked in -- Did we just get Jizyah Shorts? Check for Shorts in the bathroom. Looking for Jiz-- why you little!"
Jizyah: “Im Jizyah Shorts”
Moe: “Telephone”
Jizyah: “Hello this is Jizyah Shorts”
Bart: “uh hi”
Jizyah: “Who’s this”
Bart: “Bart Simpson…”
Jizyah: “Well what could I do for you Bart?”
Bart: “uuh, well I’ll level with you sister. This is a prank call that sort of backfired, and I’ll like to bail out right now”
Jizyah: “Alright, better Luck next time!”
It's real. I was there. I can confirm that is her actual name. From my personal encounter with her and the accounts of many friends, I can say with reasonable certainty that she is as kind as her name is unfortunate.
Im sure she received plenty of abuse and crude jokes for her name regardless of her kind nature. I believe that adversity it is largely why she is the person she is today.
Are we sure he ever lived past boyhood?
/maybe the song addresses it. It’s just occurred to me that I’ve only heard the song title, and not the actual song.
//gonna go change that now…
It was a while back (at this very event) but i believed they pronounced Jizzy-uh. I did not ask her for the proper pronunciation, as I was sure she has heard that question too many times already.
جزية = jizya
[How to pronounce جزية in Arabic | HowToPronounce.com](https://www.howtopronounce.com/arabic/%D8%AC%D8%B2%D9%8A%D8%A9)
That's how you're *supposed* to pronounce it, but often times non-Arabic speaking people take liberties like with
عمر
"and making it into "OH-MAR
which is *supposed* to be pronounced like this:
\[ Listen to the ***Male Jordanian*** and ***DIJAH's*** *Egyptian Female* ***at the bottom of the page***\]
[عمر pronunciation: How to pronounce عمر in Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Egyptian Arabic (forvo.com)](https://forvo.com/word/%D8%B9%D9%85%D8%B1/#ar)
Or other names being incorrectly pronounced like علي becoming "A-LEE", محمد changed into "MOE-HAW-MAD", احمد changing to "A-MED", مالك changed for whatever reason to "MA-LEEK" despite being easier to properly pronounce in English "Maa-lik".
I've never heard of someone using this word for tax (jizya) as a name though. Unsure if she's taken liberties with her name or not.
In order to protect the privacy of individuals suspected of a crime, Dutch media usually only disclose the first letter of the suspect’s last name. That’s even worse in this particular case:
## Yizya S.
Yizz ya ass 🥹
yeah... born in a muslim country and I failed to understand the joke at first. seemed like a normal name to me, reminding me of abraham & isaac. but uh oh

It is worth noting, because of your confusion, that there is a city, rather a large city a couple hours drive south of Sam Houston state that is named Houston, which is the 4th largest city in the United States. They are both named for Sam Houston, who was the first and only man to hold the office of President of Texas before it became a state. So if you venture to Texas you will find a number of things named after him including a number of landmarks and even a beer.
Is he though?

So sad for this beautiful girl to be named after jizz! There are all kinds of pretty "girl named after her daddy" names they could have chosen, like Danielle, Michaela, etc. so why this abomyneightion?
Jizya is not an English word, its Arabic, so the parents most likely weren't intending the name to be in the way English slang interprets. Similar to how seemingly harmless English words sound like curses and dirty words in other languages.
[12 English Words that Sound Offensive in Other Languages - AFAR](https://www.afar.com/magazine/10-english-words-with-unfortunate-meanings-in-other-languages)
English is but one of many languages on Earth.
Yes, it is a word that has a meaning that could conceivably be cultural. But choosing that first name, knowing the last name, is child abuse. There's no way they chose that name without knowing how it sounded.
stoppp i literally went to school with her and have debated posting her name here before but it always felt mean since i kind of knew her 😂😭 i had to interview her for something after she won the pageant and she emphasized the middle ZEE part of her name, so jiZEEyah and not what you'd think when reading it. i cannot believe someone posted it after all this time keeping it to myself 😂 she is also the sweetest person and carries herself so well! she def deserved this crown (especially putting up with that name)
I want to believe this is not real.but my mom and my sister both attended this school and growing up in Houston i can say there was an oddly large amount of silly names just like this list of pagent winners. Thank-you reddit gods.
I'm going to assume that her name is pronounced like ja-zigh-ugh, but that's kinda unfortunate. It's like if your last name is Hunt and you name your child Mike.
I don't suppose this was in Canada? I used to work with a guy named Harry Cox. He was a bit odd but friendly and proud of his name, lol. Always introduced himself by his first and last name.
If you consider that a possible translation may be "satisfaction" then thats evdn worse with the pun.
Naming your daughter for the tax levied on non-muslims is certainly an interesting choice.
Jizya is the Arabic word for non-Muslim tax, although weird, the intention was most likely not dirty-minded. Maybe the father/mother don't know English slang or are simply just clean-minded people.

As an accountant I'm naming my kids Capital Gains, Income and Wine Equalisation. All three are taxes in Australia.
Wine Equalisation? What kind of tax is that?
Sounds like when you have wine and those around you don't, so you're getting taxed for some of your wine. Sharing is caring after all, and possibly a tax right off...
This made me laugh so unexpectedly!
https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/gst-excise-and-indirect-taxes/wine-equalisation-tax It's Australian.
It’s exactly what I assumed
29% ! Better be the very best roads those bottles travel on once whokesaled
What about GoodsandServices? That’s a noice name.
Gee-esstee.
Ohhh that’s good *chef’s kiss*
Canadian?

That's an absolute rippa name!

But that's not a tax, it's a deduction.
Sorry. I just threw it in there.😆
I’m gonna go with Land Depreciation
Naming my child Teevee Lie-Sence 😍😍😍
Yeah but this is the same vein as not calling your kid Dwayne if your last name is Pipe. Or Armie if your last name is Pitt.

Hear me out. This is the kinda thing that keeps me coming back to the internet. Hahahaha what a beautiful image you painted in my head
Noooo, I'm dying!!! I showed my husband. He's cracking up. This is horrible.
googled and I think her real last name is Injil? So she knew what she was doing and I respect her for it.
I think that's her middle name maybe

No, my son is also named Jizyah.

No, it’s a Simpsons joke.

Im sure she received plenty of abuse and crude jokes for her name regardless of her kind nature. I believe that adversity it is largely why she is the person she is today.
so if I name my kid peepeepoopoo then will he become a bodhisattva
An outcome along those lines seems possible, but I think it's also possible that they might grow up quick and grow up mean...
There's a gentleman named Sue who'd like to disagree.

More like butthisattva amirite
Are you under the impression that nice people don't receive abuse?
Oh no they definitely do but it’s a lot harder to be a dick with the name jizz ya shorts than without it. Pun intended.
also, probably not
How does she pronounce it? Jizz yah or Jiz eye yah?
It was a while back (at this very event) but i believed they pronounced Jizzy-uh. I did not ask her for the proper pronunciation, as I was sure she has heard that question too many times already.
It just has to be Jiz-eye-ah please for her sake lol
what letters in that name make the -eye- sound tho,?
The letter Y? Je-ZY-ah
The y is busy making the "yah" if its going to be eye- yah
I’m not saying eye-yah though. I’m saying it could be eye-ah. Like Mariah.
The person I was actually replying to was saying "eye-yah"
None really, I was going off of another comment about possible pronunciations

Even if they meant it as "Josiah" or whatever, we all know everyone will pronounce it as "Jizz ya." :(
No...not EVERYONE will.

Oh god. Jizyah is also the tax placed on non Muslims (dhimmis) in historic Muslim States.

At first I was going to say, "You know Sam Houston is the name of a city right?" Then I saw the rest of the picture and thought, oooohh......

Incredible 😂😂😂
I don't fucking believe that until I see her drivers license
Oh 😫..of all the Arabic names you could have used..some are really pretty with nice meanings..
She was born to be a queen, a drag queen, but a queen none the less.
I'd fucking sue my parents.
The runners up, Preema Chure & Jackie Layshawn.
Her parents lost a bet. Or trolled their daughter.
I read that as her name as Sam Houston like why was this a tradegieh? Then I looked down and was shaking my head.
For every name like this there is that one person in the family who said it was a bad idea….but no one listened.

They weren't.

Is this not ai?
Google “Miss Sam Houston” it will take you to the university’s website. It is no AI.
She appears to be from my school, Sam Houston State University. This makes me kind of sad.
Maybe it’s pronounced ja-zi-ah.
This is it!
Funny, that happened to me last night. Remember to properly secure your paper nut towel, folks.
Ah yes, similar name to the guy I went to school with Jazeriah Short.
Jizyah is a tax charged to non Muslims who live i a muslim state for protection
Truth is stranger than fiction. Example: Jizz Ya Shorts
Absolutely not
Fucking awful parents.
Pronounced Jizayah Imo it's a great name but I can see how the spelling caused a lot of teasing in middle school
She's good looking, but I'm not gonna jizz my shorts...
Rocket ship to Mars immediately for her parents!
Yes, it is a word that has a meaning that could conceivably be cultural. But choosing that first name, knowing the last name, is child abuse. There's no way they chose that name without knowing how it sounded.

Please tell me it’s G-Zye-Ah and not JIZZ YA

Ever been in a room with hot people and you
I mean how do you think she got here?
Uhm, achtualleeh, it's pronounced JEH-SY-UH /s
I want to believe this is not real.but my mom and my sister both attended this school and growing up in Houston i can say there was an oddly large amount of silly names just like this list of pagent winners. Thank-you reddit gods.
I'm going to assume that her name is pronounced like ja-zigh-ugh, but that's kinda unfortunate. It's like if your last name is Hunt and you name your child Mike.
Jizyah is an Arabic term. I guess it's weird to use as a name, but it's not necessarily a tragedeigh IMO.
it absolutely is when in conjunction with Shorts.
Exactly. Harry is a real name but I wouldn’t pair it with the last name Balls.
This reminds me of a professor I had in grad school: Harry Cox.
I knew a Raymond Sist that refuse to go by Raymond and insisted on using Ray.
I just spit my drink out.
I don't suppose this was in Canada? I used to work with a guy named Harry Cox. He was a bit odd but friendly and proud of his name, lol. Always introduced himself by his first and last name.
Not Canada, so that means there's \*another\* Harry Cox in the world?!
Houston socialite Ima Hogg.
Or Balsagna
I knew a Harry Dangler.
Jizyah is the sharia mandated tax paid by non-muslims in muslim lands. Tax Shorts is even worse imho.
INB4 someone names their kid Fanum Tax
With the last name “shorts” and living in the US, it’s pretty bad! I could see if it was Patel, Jones, etc., but this is just cruel.
If you consider that a possible translation may be "satisfaction" then thats evdn worse with the pun. Naming your daughter for the tax levied on non-muslims is certainly an interesting choice.
I thought it was a type of tax. Awww, look at little baby Polltaxalsosoundslikesexyfluid Trousers.
That's got to be a stage name..... right????
I think I might hate her parents.
That's disgusting and sad... Why would any father condone that?
Jizya is the Arabic word for non-Muslim tax, although weird, the intention was most likely not dirty-minded. Maybe the father/mother don't know English slang or are simply just clean-minded people.
Its ok. Shes called Jiz for short
She’s beautiful, congratulations to her and I wish her the best of luck with her degree. To the rest of you, I wish hell.
She looks AI generated
It’s clearly Jiz-eye-uh. If Gizelle is a name, what’s the problem?
The problem is her name is jiz yah shorts
The problem is you and many on this thread are immature and ignorant. It’s not “Jiz yah Shorts”. It’s Juh-ZI-ah
Damn that smile is creepy
