Is the meaning of the name correct as given now? --Striver 11:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. Unfortunately, I don't have the name of the big, multi-volume Arabic-English dictionary where I looked it up back in the '90s, but it's in Bobst Library at NYU. The name "Uthman" literally means (and I paraphrase from memory here), "baby bustard", "bustard hatchling", or, "small, young snake that will grow to be a great serpent". I'll see if I can find a citation. skoosh (háblame) 03:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Uthman (name). Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20120421035708/http://www.babynamesfamily.com/meaning_of_names/german_name_Othman.html to http://www.babynamesfamily.com/meaning_of_names/german_name_Othman.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

No translation[edit]

It there's "Arabic: عثمان", you have to tell the readers what it means in English.
