Assignment 1

My name is Alaur Rahman. My first name (Alaur), does not have a meaning. However, my second name (Rahman), has several meanings. It means beneficent as well as merciful. It’s one of the names of the Islamic god, Allah.

All of my brothers’ last name is Rahman. My parents gave us this name because they want us to be merciful and kind to others.

I have met many people with the name Rahman, but I was never able to compare or relate to them. However, I met only one person who had my first name. It was very interesting because he didn’t just look like me but also had the same personality.

Although, people with Islamic names are facing difficulties because of the current situation (many think that people with Islamic names are violent), I like both my first and last name.
