Here is a list of my speculations of the origins of Alma Torran related names! There's no really confirmation for these, some are pretty obvious but others are more like guesses.

» Literally all of the djinns except for Ugo — Named after the 72 demons from an occult book called The Lesser Key of Solomon.
» Al-Thamen — From the Arabic word aṯ-ṯāmin (الثَّامِن‎), meaning "the eighth". The original name of the organization was 八芳星 Hachibōsei (Eight Pointed Star), after all.
» Aladdin — Named after ʻAlāʼ ad-Dīn (علاء الدين), a character from a fairytale of likely Middle-Eastern origin. Although it was originally not a part of the One Thousand and One Nights text, it is one of the most popular works associated with it. The story states that it takes place in China but the setting described resembles more a Muslim country, having caused speculation about the story's "true" origin and setting. This was also pointed out by Shinobu Ohtaka. Many have speculated that it takes place in Western China.
» Arba — From Arabic word arbaʿa (أَرْبَعَة), meaning "four".
» David Jehoahaz Abraham — David (Hebrew: דָּוִד Dāwīḏ) was a King of Israel. He is especially known from the story of David and Goliath. The then shepherd David defeated the must larger enemy champion Goliath. King David was the father of Solomon. Jehoahaz or Joachaz (Hebrew: יְהוֹאָחָז Yəhôʼāḥāz) is the name of two kings in the Bible: a King of Israel and a King of Judah. Abraham (Hebrew: אַבְרָהָם ʾAḇrāhām) is the name of the patriarch of the Abrahamic religions.
» Falan — We do not know for sure. Maybe, since her teammates are named after numbers in Arabic, her name is a variation of the Arabic word ṯalāṯa (ثَلَاثَة), meaning "three"? Note that ṯ means the th sound as in the word "thing". A sound not existing in Japanese. This is maybe a bit of a stretch but it's the closest I've come to.
» Ill Ilah — Reference to the Arabic word ilah (إله), meaning "god". Some have theorized, that the "ill" part could refer to "El", the supreme god in Ancient Semitic religions. His name is also the origin of the word "ilah".
» Ithnan — From Arabic word iṯnān (اِثْنَان), meaning "two".
» Setta — From Arabic word sitta (سِتَّة), meaning "six".
» Sheba — Queen of Sheba (Hebrew: מַלְכַּת־ שְׁבָא malkat-šəḇā) is a figure first mentioned in the Tanakh. She gives a caravan of valuable gifts to Israel's King Solomon. Her story has since gained multiple different narratives, including a claim that she had some form of a romantic relationship with Solomon. In some languages, her country is called "Saba" instead, which resembles the Arabic word sabʿa (سَبْعَة), meaning "seven". There might be a connection since other members in her group are named after Arabic numbers... or it's just a coincidence.
» Solomon Jehoahaz Abraham — Solomon, Salomon or Salomo (in Hebrew: שְׁלֹמֹה Šlomo) is the name of the wise king of Israel. In many religions, he is considered a prophet. His father was King David. According to occultism, he had the control of 72 demons/djinns, which in Magi are the 72 djinns. Jehoahaz or Joachaz (Hebrew: יְהוֹאָחָז Yəhôʼāḥāz) is the name of two kings in the Bible: a King of Israel and a King of Judah. Abraham (Hebrew: אַבְרָהָם ʾAḇrāhām) is the name of the patriarch of the Abrahamic religions.
» Tess — There is a possibility it's connected to the Arabic word tisʿa (تِسْعَة), meaning "nine".
» Wahid — From Arabic word wāḥid (وَاحِد‎), meaning "one".
