Anyone know Arabic?

There is someone I sort of know (well, I do know him. Same college class, got chucked out for trying to thow a chair at a mate of mine :rolleyes:

), and he got this tattoo, which he says is his name in Arabic, which I always doubted anyway, cos i'm sure Richard wouldn't really exist in Arabic. But whatever, I didn't really care. Then a mate said he got another mate to translated it and it didn't mean his name (still tbh don't care, its just quite funny!)

So ... what does this mean:

It should mean richard, but according to someone else it means Arrogant Rich Man. :cool:

Its quite funny

here is a transliteration

Gha-nee Aff-aaz

I dont think that says richard.

Do you know what the english eqivalent (sp?) would be? Is it anything like "Arrogant Rich Man"

?

My French Muslim colleague speaks a bit of Arabic. He has confirmed the pronunciation given above. He said that the first word means rich, but he didn't know about the second word.

Hi
Thanks. Lol, so it means Rich as in the money sense of the word? (rich/poor , not rich as in richard?)
