Jumal vs. Jamal

I'm curious, is his name actually written "Jumal" (with a U) on any official source? Because the most common (and most accurate) rendition of the name (جمال Jamāl) is "Jamal" or "Jamaal" (with an A). The pronunciation of "Jamal" in the cartoon may have lead to the misspelled "Jumal" -- Ziyad 18:55, 14 August 2009 (EDT)

Yes, it really is spelled "Jumal" in the script. I had the same problem believing it.--Apcog 21:00, 14 August 2009 (EDT)

It's probably worth adding a note to the page about Jumal's name most likely being a misspelled version of Jamāl. --abates 02:54, 15 August 2009 (EDT)

I think all the information is worthwhile to include in the Notes section, but I'm not sure about putting the Arabic translations with the "correct" Romanizations right in the intro. I thought we only included non-English renderings there when those renderings were in some way official, not just our own estimation of how they would/should translate. - Jackpot 17:17, 15 August 2009 (EDT)
