Name meaning and origin
The name Mursal is of Arabic origin and comes from the word "mursal" (مرسل). The word derives from the root r-s-l, the same root as "rasul" (messenger, prophet). "Mursal" means "sent", "commissioned", "messenger", that is, a person sent with a mission, and it is also applied to prophets in Islamic literature.
In Azerbaijan, Mursal is chosen as a name carrying religious content. The word "Mursalin" (the sent messengers) appears in the Quran many times in the sense of prophets, but "Mursal" does not occur in the Quranic text as a specific personal name. From an Islamic standpoint there is no prohibition on bearing the name; its meaning is positive.
