Several Arabic news sites are reporting that Jordan's Office of Civil Status refused to allow a local couple register their newborn daughter's name as "Israel."

Employees insisted that they would not allow it, but the couple insisted, pointing out that there is no law in Jordan that stops them from naming their child any name they want.

The media calls the father "strange" and guesses that this is probably the first Arab child ever to be named "Israel."

The story seems to be a few weeks old although it just popped up. A Tunisian message board had people asking what is wrong with that name, given that Israel is Jacob which is a fine Arabic name (Yaqoub.)

Apologies in advance for the pun.

Elder of Ziyon - حـكـيـم صـهـيـون



This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 19 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
