Ida Posted March 12, 2021 Hello, How do you read the Somali name "Mataan" in Arabic? مِتانor ماتان or what? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 12, 2021 Mataan means twin in Somali language. It is usually a nickname that gains more traction than the given birth. Usually given to one of the twin children. There is also Raage (raageh), given to a child whose birth and labour have taken quite sometime to arrive. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
