I recently learned that Istanbul is actually a Greek based mashup word for “the city”
Actually, it likely means “in/to/into Constantinople” (p. 240), and Constantinople itself is named after Constantine the Great.
So is Al-Madinah (literally ‘The City’) in KSA.
Makes me wish I could register “the pen” as a trademark or something and start selling pens under that name. I wonder if that also makes it impossible for anyone ever find this brand online.
Technically, Al-Madinah is shortened for Al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, which means The Luminous City.
So maybe you could sell ‘the luminous pen’ instead 🤔
That would also make SEO so much easier.
