Talk:Saladin
Regarding The name
Fixing the whole "it's a whole name" thing. ad-Din is actually an epithet, it means "the Just". He's "Salah the Just" in Arabic.
Writing his name in form of two words like Salah Al'din means that his first name is Salah and his last name is Al'din. And it is absolutely wrong. Even now the name Salah-al'din is common among arabs, the whole thing was his first name. --Safety and peace 18:11, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

The Name
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".
