I am looking for a source on Arabic in the Mongolian/Indian/Persian style of naming
One of the things that fascinated me the most is the way of being creative with language. With English being easy to mishmash words in, it was effortless to come up with new names by using hybrids of other nouns.
But as I wanted to move some of my work to Arabic, my native, I found it hard to come up with fantasy names. After digging around, I found some cultures which adopted some Arabic has came up with beautiful names by mishmashing beautiful and meaningful words together from their own native forms of expressions.
Examples of that are:
- Taj Mahal (a Location)
- Sabah Nour (DC comics)
- Qamar Taj (Marvel comics)
- Ras Al Ghoul (DC comics)
If anyone here is familiar with this sort of mishmashing, I would love to be guided to some sources where this form of names is frequently used so I can get some inspiration.
