In Turkey this name is very popular in a bad way. Bilal is one of Erdoğan's (president) sons and he is famous with the corruption rumors based on a leaked phone record. In that record he was kind of gullible and couldn't understand his father. People invented a funny saying after this incident. "To explain like you are telling to Bilal"- people use this to describe explaining very basic like explaining to the most idiot person. That's why this name in Turkey sounds gullible.
It is a Muslim name. Bilal was an Ethiopian slave who was freed by the Prophet Muhammad and became the first Muezzin (person who calls people to prayer).
Salamtou says "Ethiopian slave" to explain the history below. Instead, it is more accurate to say enslaved Ethiopian. No one is a slave. People have however been enslaved.

I don't really like this name. It doesn't mean something very nice in Portuguese, so I associate it with bad stuff.
An African slave who rebelled against his masters in Saudi Arabia at the time when Islam arose. He was the first Muazin (first person who gave the call for prayer).
