Noor bin Ladin, the Swiss-born niece of terrorist Osama bin Laden, made news recently after voicing her endorsement of President Trump. Noor's side of the family has always been against Osama and his doings and is only bin Laden by name (even spelling it differently as Ladin). Saddened by the spread of radical Islam in her native Europe, she came in support of Trump, believing that he's capable of stopping the spread.

I had a boyfriend whose name was Noor, but according to him, it was short for Noah. He was Muslim. Does anybody know how common this is?

I love this name! Especially since this is my middle name. Noor is easy to pronounce, has a lovely meaning, and doesn’t sound all that ugly. Plus it makes me feel a bit more unique since my first name is Sophia (Sophia is also a name I love but I understand that it has gotten too popular).

Spunky, gorgeous, and simple. Noor is mysterious and alluring, and would make a romantic first or middle name. It has ancient charm, but modern versatility. Very chic!

In Arabic this pretty name means "the light". For example, the famous Jordanian queen was actually called Noor al-Hussein "the light of Hussein (her husband, the king).

Noor may be short for Eleanor/Ellinor. I've also heard it may be derived from the Greek "Eleos" - compassion, mercy. Either way I love both the short, sassy Noor and the Dutch diminutive Noortje.

She was a British spy during WWII, sent to German occupied France to send back important information to London. Noor was a gentle person, but utterly fearless in her (successful) effort to help the Allied Forces during the war.
Life expectancy for spy operators was very low, and she valiantly stayed in German occupied France when even other spies had to flee to avoid capture. She had opportunity to leave too, but she stayed back. Noor Inayat Khan was eventually imprisoned and executed in a concentration camp. She endured much, and never gave any information to the people who hurt her.
Please do look into her story, it’s very interesting and she is so worthy of being remembered every day- truly a modern hero.
