That's the phenotypical continuity existing from the Eastern Med to Corsica and Southern France.

I guess it is just different grammer between Arabic and bosanski.

She does not show any Arabid trait. She is Pan-Med more than anything. But i can see the similarity between her and Araft's widow.

[Methusalem]

Looks pretty much (South)Mediterranid.

[Amun]

She is more EastMed IMO

Since she is from Alexandria, it is not surprise to see some similarities between people there and Levantines.

[Celt_Pride]

Bosnian name?this is the continuity between middle east and balkan countries

[P-Chan]

France? Switzerland? Austria? I disagree....she's an East Med

She fits in a big area that goes from Southern Italy to Levant, but surely not in Central Europe.

[Ulla]

what does her name mean?

"Soft". It's a name widespread also in Albania and in Bosnia, I guess. But Nermin is a name also in Kurdish.

[Amun]

she has a Türkish first name

Yes, but she is not an ethnic Turk. We borrowed some of your names like Jehan, Nermin, Norhan and ect...

France is full of such East Med types because of the Greek and Phoenician colonies in the south. Not so much in Switzerland and Austria tho.

Phoenicians have estabilished few colonies on Western Mediterranean coasts, but they didn't leave any genetic influence to French people.

[archangel]

french people look fairly southern to me imho
