| The submitters have not demonstrated a practice of placenames derived from laqabs, nor could any of the commenters lend support to this formation. Neither does the cited example of Cairo (al-Qáhirah, "the Victorious") support this name. Originally called al-Mansúriyyah, it later became al-Qáhirah al-Mu'izziyyah, "the victorious [city] of [the Fatimid Caliph] Mu'izz [li-Dín alláh]", similar to the fashion by which "The City of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels" (el pueblo de nuestra señora la reina de los angeles) became Los Angeles.

| Name:
| |
| | |
| The group name was returned by Laurel in 2/94 for poor construction of an Arabic place name. Based on the discussion in [Seltzer, 1952], the "-stan" suffix appears to be used to form the place name indicating the habitation of a specific tribe (i.e. Afganistan from the Afgans (see the discussion under the entry for Afganistan on "op. cit." pg. 15-16, for example). The closest name we can find to "Tanweer" is found in [Hamid, 1985, pg. 45] as "Tanwir" ("enlightening") as a male given name. Due to lack of documentation in our own library we are sending this on up to the College for assistance with Arabic naming practices. The members of the Canton are very attached to using Tanweer- something or something-Tanweer.

| Device:
| |
| The device was returned Caid 10/91 for lack of a name and apparently not resubmitted with the name submission considered by Laurel. A petition of support including both the proposed name and blazon are included.
