About the name Nor Saiful
Nur (also spelled Nor or Noor) means 'light' and often serves as a first element; here it sits before a name that is usually a boy's, so the combination can be given to either. Saiful means 'sword'. Saiful comes from sayf al- ("sword of the"), an element usually found at the start of a name. This combination is used in Malaysia.
