Translates to mean "house" in Arabic.

"Dar Al-Akhtar" = House of Danger.

"Dar Al-Nojoum'' = House of Stars.

Etc.

The word "Dar " is derived from Sanskrit (भट) meaning "supporter".

Dhar (Kashmiri: धर (Devanagari), دھر (Nastaleeq)), also spelled Dar (Kashmiri: दर (Devanagari), در (Nastaleeq)), is a Kashmiri surname (kram), of Brahmin origin, found among individuals native to the Kashmir Valley of India, as well as Kashmiri émigrés who have migrated to the Punjab, a region divided between India and neighbouring Pakistan.

It's also the name of a Linux disk archiving software, the acronym of Daughters of the American Revolution and no doubt many other things too :D

He tells all his enemies Dar is short for Darling. That way he's safe in knowing they will never call or write. :wink:
