Meaning of the name Uthman

Is the meaning of the name correct as given now? --Striver 11:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. Unfortunately, I don't have the name of the big, multi-volume Arabic-English dictionary where I looked it up back in the '90s, but it's in Bobst Library at NYU. The name "Uthman" literally means (and I paraphrase from memory here), "baby bustard", "bustard hatchling", or, "small, young snake that will grow to be a great serpent". I'll see if I can find a citation. skoosh (háblame) 03:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Only seventeen years later, and I finally found it online! An Arabic English Lexicon, Book I. William Edward Lane. p. 1954. https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.76950/page/n199/mode/2up I'll edit the article to reflect this presently. skoosh (háblame) 15:56, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
