[Opinions] Re: your Arabic name
in reply to a message by Ohad Yigal
I knew a guy named Djbrile.
Anyway, I looked far and wide and Isis doesn’t seem to have an Arabic translation? It’s Daesh? Lol. Isis means “throne” and Daesh means something entirely different so I don’t think that will make the cut. The only Arab country I’ve been to, Egypt, I introduced my name and they didn’t seem to translate it in anyway besides just tell me the original name is Auset, not the whitened Greek Isis. That’s about the closest I can get.

anyway ancient egyptians aren't arabs.
Who said they were? Egypt turned Arab over time. Egypt’s official name is literally The Arab Republic of Egypt. I just wanted to see if my name could be translated to another name arabic. Clearly not. But yes, Anicent Egyptians did not speak Arabic.
