Travels of Lady Hester Stanhope, Volume 3 (of 3)

Note 92 — Chapter XI

Reading edition

When a person is named Shems, it does not mean that he bears simply that name. Shems-ed-dyn (or the sun of religion) is his true appellation. So no man in Turkey is commonly called Aladdin, or Ali-ed-dyn, as it should be written, but Ali only; and Aladdin, his name in full length, would be inserted in writing only.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
