1.         Tina is a diminutive of Christina, a common name for a Christian girl, whose masculine gender is Christie, also a common name for a Christian. It was dim-cult to convey a true sense for Daeree of fane) in English, being a ‘dichtomy’ of ‘masita’ means one who belongs to mosque but he is not a maulvi. Similarly ‘daeree’ means who belongs to fane, not necessarily a priest.
