Talk:Haddad#Merge proposal with Hadodo

I'm quite sure the exact meaning of Haddad is Blacksmith as apposed to the more general 'Smith'.

was the haddads originally before christianity originated from the syrian plain in particular palestine and israel

Well, Canaanite, so they descend from Phoenicians 89.133.155.74 (talk) 21:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Arabic is not the 'grandchild of Aramaic and Hebrew'. Arabic and Hebrew are both grand children of Aramaic. Also, in that sentence Hebrew has no context or is out of place as the sentence is talking about Arabic, so I removed it -- xushi

Haddad comes from arabic word Hadid meaning sharp and called iron too because with iron were made sharp weapons like swords, so if hadid is iron therefore Haddad is who work with iron or blacksmith — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haddad70 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

This edit is clearly anti aramaic/jewish and deletes any reference to this last name being Aramaic origin. This deletion is considered Palestinian anti jewish propaganda.

All jewish/aramaic references for the haddad page were deleted in effort to hide the aramaic origin of the last name. These changes were made after the hamas terrorist attacks and can be seen as palestinian propaganda. The page needs to be reverted to include the aramaic origin with its valid sources. There was no reason for this besides palestinian propaganda which may even be terrorist misinformation propaganda. Ahaddad91 (talk) 20:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

{{Discussion top|result=The result of this discussion was merge; at the very least, there's no major opposition to the idea of a merge following a single user comment, so this is probably an uncontroversial move. Surayeproject3 (talk) 13:25, 20 June 2025 (UTC)}}

The merge proposal...

Proposing a merge from Hadodo. As far as I'm aware, there are no current entries on Wikipedia for people who have the last name "Hadodo", which calls into question the need for a separate disambiguation. A comment on the respective article's talk page basically summarizes what merging the article would look like, and I think would make it much more condensed overall.

• and discussion...

:But are they not different names? Haddad is a set index page, not a DAB, and surnames often have their own articles, some of which includes lists and others don't, but describe the origins and meanings of the name. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 03:38, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

::Having recently edited a number of set index pages of surnames, all of them included a list with entries on Wikipedia that had the same name, and I haven't found one that doesn't yet (apologies if I used "disambiguation" for the wrong context). Both names also mean the same word, "Blacksmith", and are listed as variants of each other, and an online dictionary of Assyrian/Aramaic also indicates this [http://sargonsays.com/word/hadad]. Based on this I would argue they're the same name. Surayeproject3 (talk) 03:48, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
