Thread: "Ginger" in arabic?

We just got a cat and are naming her Ginger, but I wondered about named her Ginger in another language.

Unfortunately the translation sites I've found on the web shows how one would write it in arabic, but not how to pronounce it.

Anyone know? Below is what Google gave me for how it is written.

زنجبيل

zinjabeel, or sumthin' like that.

Thanks!

How about "The Professor" or "Marianne"?

Sorry...

Yup, zinjabeel with the main accent on the 'beel'.

Well, the scientific name for ginger is Zingiber, which would make a pretty cool name if you ask me, but then I have been told very recently I'm an uber nerdy plant biologist.

Is it! Cool I never knew that.

Moroccan: skinjbir
Arabic: zanjabil

If I ever get a ginger cat that name is going on the list!
