Sinan ( Arabic: سنان ''sinān'') is a name found in Arabic and Early Arabic, meaning ''spearhead''. The name may also be related to the Ancient Greek name Sinon. It was used as a male given name.

Another older meaning probably refer to "age", the length of time that a person has lived or a thing has existed, or the old age. Also, another meaning refers to "make a law/ legislation about something". The general meaning is "sharpened point/ nib of the spear or lance(t)" which could possibly have a symbolic connotation representing a pointed arch, some referring to the niche of a ''mihrab'', since the mihrab represent the "point, direction" of prayer to the Ka'abah in Islam.

Sinan Reis
Sinan Reis, also ''Ciphut Sinan'', ( he, סנאן ראיס, ''Sinan Rais''; ar, سنان ريس, ''Sinan Rayyis'';) "Sinan the Chief", and pt, Sinão o Judeo, "Sinan the Jew", was a Barbary corsair who sailed under the famed Ottoman admiral Hayreddin Barbarossa. Life While Ottoman sources are generally silent about his origins, most modern works assert that he was born to a Sephardic Jewish family which fled Spain or Portugal and possibly relocated to the then Ottoman ruled Smyrna, Sinan sailed as a Barbary corsair, a type of privateer or pirate, under the Ottoman flag. There are several cases of Jews who upon fleeing Iberia turned to attacking the Empire's shipping, a profitable strategy of revenge for the Inquisition's religious persecution. There are other sources though which claim that Sinan's epithet, "the Jew" does not refer to his Jewish origins. The sixteenth-century chronicler Francisco Lopez Gomarra argued that he was named so because he once escaped from an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
