elBahri

elBahri is a proper noun of Arabic origin that may refer to a surname, a place name, or a brand identity associated with maritime heritage. The form combines el-, an orthographic variant of the Arabic definite article al-, with Bahri (بحري), meaning "maritime" or "of the sea."

As a surname, elBahri is attested among Arabic-speaking populations in North Africa and the Middle East and is often linked to coastal settlements, fishing, trade, or naval service. Spelling variants in English transliteration include el-Bahri, al-Bahri, Bahri, and related forms, reflecting regional pronunciation and transliteration practices.

In toponymy, elBahri appears in coastal or maritime-oriented place names and neighborhood designations in various regions, signaling historical or cultural ties to the sea. In modern usage, the name is employed by cultural organizations, educational programs, and businesses to evoke nautical identity or regional heritage.

Notable individuals bearing the name have appeared in sports, academia, and the arts, with regional records varying over time. The term is related to other Arabic-derived names such as Bahri and Al-Bahri, and it is sometimes used in transliterated forms as elBahri, el-Bahri, or al-Bahri.
