I have been trying to research the name Shamardal which is the name of a thoroughbred racehorse now retired, who is the sire of my own colt. I believe that it is Arabic but the only reference I can find is to Al-Shamardal, in Tales from the 1001 Nights.
Can anyone help me with an interpretation of what Al-shamardal or Shamardal means, I would be most appreciative.
thanks
Rod
