Her name has been recorded as Rayḥâna, Narjis, Sayqal, Hadith or Suwsan in Shî`î books.[1] There are a couple of narrations regarding her ancestry.

There are two traditions regarding her ancestry, one saying that she was African while the other saying she was Greek (Byzantine).[2]

Some Shia sources have recorded her as being a "Roman (ie Byzantine) princess" who pretended to be a slave so that she might travel from her kingdom to Arabia.[3][4][5] Mohammad Ali Amir-Moezzi, in Encyclopedia of Iranica, suggests that the last version is "undoubtedly legendary and hagiographic".[5]

The animation of Princess of Rome is about life of Narjis and released in 33rd Fajr International Film Festival.[6]
