Urdu ki meaning batayeh.

I didn’t know where to post this, but could someone please please please quickly tell me if in Urdu when a person has two names is referred to abz oorf/wald cde? i.e. ali wald/oorf abbass?

Re: Urdu ki meaning batayeh.

**its called urfiyat or kunniyat or ilyaas

Mohammad Ahmad urf Munna Bhai
Ahmad Ali, kunniyat Majjoo Bhai
Riyaz Ahmad, ilyas Nabi Khan

i hope that suffices. :)**

Re: Urdu ki meaning batayeh.

Chalo ek urf toh theek tha mera...
Thanks, yes it did help but i thought ilyaas was english mein...?

Re: Urdu ki meaning batayeh.

**actually english language has adopted or borrowed a lot of urdu [farsi/arabi] words, with a lil variation, and vice versa. some examples are:

cummerband = kamar band
Charisma = karishma
bazar = baazaar
talism = tilism
chemise = qameez

surprisingly, urdu has borrowed words from French, like

pantalon = patloon
la russ = roos = Rissia
le chine = cheen = china
posse = paasii = private army**
