عربي term

Kaden

عربي إلى أنجليزي الفن/الأدب علم الأحياء- التكنولوجي و الكيميائي و المجهري male names
Many Google sources give the meaning of this male name as "companion" from Arabic. I don't of any Arabic word that sounds like this and means "companion".
I have the Syrian bacchalayerate (12th grade = pretty stong knoledge of Arabic, poetry, rhethoric), but still ignorant about this..

I am looking for an explanation and not the meaning, which I know.

Thanks

Yes this is a rhetorical way of saying companion?

Thank you for the dictionary reference! IT helps a lot!
Thank you for the clarification regarding its being rhetorical. Just out of curiosity, do you know any prose or poetry in which this has been used. I am just curious. Thanks
