My Name in Arabic - zlythern
If you ever curious about how is your name in Arabic looks like, then Reem from My Name in Arabic, is the right person to do the job ;) Ever since May 2007 Reem have made lotsa Arabic name for peoples ;)




Efendi in Arabic
My Name in Arabic
is offering you the service of writing your name in Arabic letters. All you need to do is send Reem an email, write your name, and explain how your name is pronounced. Since the writings will be based on the pronunciation of your name ;)

And Reem, have made me one, a beautiful one ;)

My name is Efendi, and in Arabic is إفندي

Nice eh ;)





And turns out, that Efendi was originated from Turki. Reem pointed me out for this, and here are some quotes from wikipedia.

Effendi or Efendi (from Turkish Efendi) is a Turkish title meaning a lord or master. It is a title of respect or courtesy, equivalent to the English Sir, in Turkey and some other Eastern countries. It follows the personal name, when it is used, and is generally given to members of the learned professions, and to government officials who have no higher rank, such as Bey or Pasha. It may also indicate a definite office, as Hekim efendi, chief physician to the sultan. The possessive form efendim (my master) is used by servants and in formal intercourse.

I never knew that before :P


So, have yourself an Arabic Name ;)

This is very interesting. I can think of other languages can be served the same way as well.

Efendi eh?
A weird selection of name, from the eyes of a Turkish.

We use efendi while addressing someone like "Ahmet efendi de burada" meaning "Mr. Ahmet too is present"
You see, you can use it as Mr. but it has more respect in it. It's a respectful way of addressing people. It also means "master" like in "Who's your master?"

(:

Anyway, nice to meet you, Efendi.
And there's this site you can have a look, i found it whilst searching for an english to arabic translater.
