Arabic: نور الدين,
romanized: nūr ad-dīn) is a male Arabic
given name, translating to "light of Faith", nūr meaning "light" and dīn meaning "religion". More recently, the name has also been used as a surname.

definite article in front of the "
sun letter" d is realized only as a gemination /dː/, the Arabic pronunciation being /nuːrudːiːn/.
