Day 252 - Learn my Name in Arabic

Date: September 15th, 2010

There was little to the actual experience for today, but having seen my name written in Chinese and hieroglyph (I've had an interesting childhood), I wanted to see what it would look like in Arabic.

So pretty.

I found a lovely site that contained translations of most common names in English and their corresponding Arabic versions.  It was a nice reminder of how beautiful language can be.  English doesn't always display the pure, intricate poetry that language has to offer.  I mean, not with words like aardvark and doppelganger.  Seriously, English?  Come on!

I already liked my name, but seeing it in Arabic reminded me how beautifully language can display a thought, action or person to the world
