@Archatgs Alas, one of those tempting coincidences, I fear--two different roots, by all accounts: Welsh via iud, 'lord' < Latin iudex, judge

@caitlinrgreen I didn't say the Arabic name is the origin of the Welsh name, the Welsh is older than Arab expansion. Thanx -
.
@caitlinrgreen NB: the name in Arabic is not Arabic origin exactly as many names e.g: Ibrahim. -
.
@caitlinrgreen but it is not biblical too. -
.
@caitlinrgreen Idris is neither Arabic origin nor biblical; Egyptian nationalists attribute it to Osiris & others to Hermes without bases. -
@Archatgs interesting....
-
.
@caitlinrgreen The origin of the name is mysterious; it is mentioned in Quran 2 times in short verses; any information else is w/out bases. - 7 more replies
