So is Al-Madinah (literally 'The City') in KSA.

Makes me wish I could register “the pen” as a trademark or something and start selling pens under that name. I wonder if that also makes it impossible for anyone ever find this brand online.

Technically, Al-Madinah is shortened for Al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, which means The Luminous City.

So maybe you could sell 'the luminous pen' instead 🤔

That would also make SEO so much easier.
