Talal

Arabic to English Other Names (personal, company)
I need to know the meaning of this word along with spelling and roots (maddah) in Arabic. I got this from a web site of names and therefore I need to be sure. If it is not Arabic, please give me an idea what is it. My purpose is to name my newly- born baby boy.

Thanks in Advance.

Mohsin, we prefer Arabic names for Muslims in Bangladesh. In recent time, some Bengali Muslims name their children with Bengali names, but earlier only Hindus used to name their children Bengali/Sanskrit names. But you translate them, they all resemble Arabic names. Anyway, for your information, Delawar is not Bangali, it is most probably Farsi.

Mohsin, why are you trying to name the man's kid for him? :-)
Mohsin Alabdali Nov 12, 2007:
Choudhury sahib, I appreciate your wish to give your newly born son an Arab name. But I think you have a very good Bangali name that has both a good sound and a good meaning. How about Delawar?
