Full Meaning of Menar

Menar means source of light, illuminating. It is not directly mentioned in the Quran, but since its root (N-W-R) is mentioned, it is a Quranic name. It is derived from Noor, one of the 99 names of Allah and the name of a chapter in the Quran. Below is an example of the usage of the N-W-R  root in the Quran:

Exalted is He who put constellations in the heavens, a radiant lamp and an illuminating moon (Quran 25:61)
