Re: Etymology of name

lusi ...you just want the translation of your name? or the history of it?

Re: Etymology of name

i know what it means but i want the history behind, i mean i know the first part of my name is a part of one of the 99 names of Allah but i can’t find anythhing about the other part of my name and like how my name formed. Even when I look online for the 1st part of my name, it only gives the one word meaning and nothing else about it. :(… am i making sense? :bummer:

Re: Etymology of name

does ul-ain means “of eyes” or “something that belongs to you”?

wikepedia has wrong meaning of “ain” :halo:

Re: Etymology of name

of eyes.

Re: Etymology of name

Light of the eyes or something? shrug

Re: Etymology of name

the same “ain” in arabic means eyes and also “springs” (fresh-water springs)…

but the “ain” ni names is usually eyes, like qurrat-ul-ain (meaning the coolness of the eye), noor-al-ain (light of the eye), rahat-ul-ain (pleasure of the eys)…

Re: Etymology of name

Like Bahr Ain lol.> Bahar of the Eyes. I wonder if Bahrain was named cuz of that :D.

Re: Etymology of name

^ well the "ain " we were talking about is wrriten with "ain-yay-noon" whereas the "-ain" at the end of bahrain is just "yay-noon", which is used to denote "two"....

so bahrain means "two seas", just like walidain means (two parents i.e. father and mother)....

Re: Etymology of name

I agree to ARM that is derived actually from behr tanain.

Re: Etymology of name

***So your name is Qurra- tul -ain?..:slight_smile: ***
