Etymology
شُهْرَة comes from the Arabic root ش-ه-ر, which carries the core idea of being visible, evident, or widely known. The pattern فُعْلَة turns that root into an abstract noun, so شهرة literally names the state of being known to many people. The same root gives شهر, the word for month, a link many grammarians trace to the visible appearance of the new moon.
