What is the true linguistic meaning of the names "Lamar" and "Mayar", and how blessed are they religiously?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The two aforementioned words have no origin in the names or language of the Arabs, unless the intention behind "Mayar" is "bringer of provisions," in which case it is an exaggeration of "provisions" (mira). "Lamar" is a foreign word meaning the sparkle of gold or diamonds, and in Persian, it means a female dog.
