Tashfeen Malik (King) is a nom de guerre for a Muslim Jihadist from the annals of Muslim history. As he is known to Muslims “Tashfeen Malik Al-Muahideen”, in English: Tafhseen King of the Unitarians (Muslims) and the conquerer of the west.
The history stems from when Yusuf ibn Tashfin led the Muslim forces in the Battle of Zallaqa/Sagrajas. He came to Andalusia (Spain)from Morocco to help the Muslims fight against Alfonso VI, eventually achieving victory and allowing the Muslims to remain in Spain for centuries.
The battle has been symbolic for Muslim victory against the Christians.

Bernard Lewis wrote some excellent books, and was widely regarded as the most knowledgeable and articulate expert on Islam in the western world.
In one of his books, he goes out of his way to stress that even though Americans and many Europeans don’t have a grasp of their own history (and even if they do, it isn’t inculcated into the fabric of our culture) Muslims very much know their own history (or at least a version that someone wants them to know) and it figures into the everyday fabric of their lives.
When a muslim “leader” (whatever that means) makes a public announcement referencing the name of some historical figure from an event in 680 AD, we roll our eyes, but muslims all understand the reference and it resonates with them.
None of what you posted is happenstance. The woman’s mother didn’t just pick it out of a list of names such as “Susan” or “Jane”.
