'Mishal' - Page 3

Yup, like make-believe said, it's of Arabic origin and means torch. Unique name, sounds lovely to the ears too 😳 Funny how one little letter being changed in a name can change it's whole meaning, like my name is Zahra, with an 'h'- without the 'h' it would have a completely different meaning 😆 x

Ahhhh...such an interesting discussion. 😆

Mashaal, Mashal and Mishal are different variants of the same name but it depends on how you pronounce it actually. If you pronounce it with the Arabic 'Ain' after 'sh' it means the same...torch, light, something that gives off light or heat and all....but if you drop the 'Ain' the origin changes, the meaning changes...then it means a ruler or something...just according to my knowledge.

Arey, he would say light/torch too 😆 And I have to say, it's unique for me not because the name's unique because I've heard and known of many women with this name...but his parents used it for a boy...that's unprecedented...never heard/thought that it could be a boy's name. Maybe it's more common among the Sindhis...I know there are a few on the forum, maybe they know better 😆

@bold...No, it's not...I don't think so. It's actually more common among Pathans/Pashtos...as a boy's name only.

Well we should ask Mishal how they re parents chosen his name...in fact we should do a list with interesting questions about him and send it to Wazzup TV for an interview with GOOD QUESTIONS! I m also wondering if is he 100% indian because first time I saw him he looks like a Turkish guy to me lol...So guys who's in?

How come ppl never ask Mishal the meaning of his name in interviews and he's asked allllllllllll sorts of stupid questions instead?....koi dhang ka interviewer nahin gaya kabhi uske paas? And all these random ppl happily butcher his name on TV too😆.....You'd think that given it's such an unusual name, that's the FIRST thing ppl would ask him....😕

Mishal / Mashal ...reminded me this...

Mishaal...is a variant of Arabic word "MIshal"....which means a "torch" or "a beacon"....😊
