Sinbad
“The name Sinbad (Arabic: Sindbad) may derive from Persian "Sindbad" or Sanskrit "Siddha-pati" (lord of the accomplished), though the true etymology remains uncertain. Sinbad the Sailor is one of the most famous characters from One Thousand and One Nights, a merchant adventurer from Basra whose seven extraordinary voyages became the Arabian world's defining tales of adventure and wonder.”
Ibrahim
“The Arabic form of Abraham, derived from the Hebrew "Avraham" meaning "father of multitudes" or "exalted father". In Islam, Ibrahim is venerated as a prophet and "friend of God" (Khalilullah), and his story of faith and sacrifice forms a central pillar of Islamic theology.”
Aida
“Possibly from the Arabic 'aida meaning "returning, visiting" or "beneficial", from the root 'aud meaning "to return". Alternatively it may derive from the Old English Aida, a variant of Ada, from the Germanic adal meaning "noble". The name's global spread is largely due to Verdi's 1871 opera, which is set in ancient Egypt.”
