The family name is written as
Galadari even though it is pronounced in classical Arabic as
Kaladari; this is because of variation in local
Gulf Arabic dialect pronunciation. The name is of Persian origin and the Persians used to use this name as a mean to refer to the village where the Galadaris lived, noting their initial low socioeconomic status of shepherding. It is uncertain when the Galadari's decided to take the name as a family name. ==References==
