At first, I'm going to name my firstborn son "Ahmad Moses" but since "Moses" is the Egyptian form of Musa, which is the name of my state's disgraced former Chief Minister, I decide to name him "Ahmad Yunus" instead, for it would mean "The praiseworthy dove"! His name would combine pretty well with "bin Muhammad Khaliq Farhan" and the full meaning would be "The praiseworthy dove, son of the praiseworthy creator of happiness"!

Yunus is a very beautiful and handsome Arabic name. One of my fave Arabic male names. ^_^

The proper pronunciation of this Arabic name is YOO-nus.

Yunus is also used in Chechnya (a traditionally Islamic country) as a first name for men. Since Chechnya is forced to follow the Russian naming system, it is also found as a middle name in the form of a patronymic, namely Yunusovich.

Yunus is also the Turkish word for "dolphin". I'm not sure whether this usage is derived from the given name or just a coincidence.

Isn't it the Arabic equivalent of Jonas, and doesn't its usage in Turkish come from Arabic? [noted -ed]
