Take it from me, an Arabic speaker by birth. The meaning of the name "Saladin" or "Salah Al'din" has always been controversial. صلاح الدين الايوبي. "The Ayyoubid, Righteousness of the Faith" is the exact meaning of his name where "Salah" with a heavier "h" sound means "Good" or "Usefulness" in general. However "Din" دين actually pronounced "Deen" means "Religion" or "Faith". Plus he is a follower of the Ayyoubid sect of Islam. So together you get "Salah Al-Deen al-Ayyoubi", add a little mistakes in pronounciation and English mother tongue interference you get "Saladin The Ayyoubid" short "Saladin". | |||
