Omar
Omar is an Arabic name meaning 'long-lived', 'thriving', 'flourishing', or 'eloquent'. The name is most famously associated with Umar ibn al-Khattab (c. 584–644), the second Rashidun Caliph and a senior companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Known as Al-Faruq ('the Distinguisher between right and wrong'), he was a just ruler who expanded the Islamic empire and introduced the Hijri Calendar. He was assassinated in 644 by a Persian slave. In Sunni tradition, he is revered as a paragon of Islamic virtues and one of the most powerful Muslim caliphs in history.
