Al Safar = The Travel / The Traveling
Safar = Travel / Traveling

"Al ال" in arabic = "The" in English

Thanks EG but that was not my question...does anyone know value with vs. without Al...

Technically any name in arabic can start with AL...but most people dont speak that way...just seeking some opinions on what people this is more valuable ?

I'm not sure where you get the idea that most people don't speak that way.

It doesn't relay on people way of speaking. It's about the term/word itself and how you will use it (noun , adjective , etc..).

EX:
- "Tourism" in Arabic. with "AL" is the common use.
- "America" in Arabic. only used without "AL"
- "United States" in Arabic. only used with "AL" in both words (United & States)

Using "AL" doesn't follow a specific model.

Again, It's about the term/word.
