found a reference to "mar":
Hence, for example, the word "man" can be translated into Arabic in
several different ways: bashar (Man as a creation of God), mar'
(mortal, ephemeral man), rajul (man as opposed to woman), insan (man
as a social being, the human race), and so on.

so, Al Mar-Fuad - the mind or heart of mortal man
human compassion? (which would be a reasonable thing,
the spirit of compassion tells the colonialist to turn over the
territory to its inhabitants?)""
