Hamad – The Biggest Name on Earth?

Hamad, from space
As far as I know, “Hamad” is the only name on Earth big enough to be seen from space.

The name “Hamad” was dug into the sand of the UAE’s Futaisi Island a couple of years ago by billionaire Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a member of the Al Nahyan royal family of Abu Dhabi.


Because that’s what rich people do for fun, I guess.

The name is two miles long, and each of the five upper-case letters is a half mile tall.


What does the name Hamad mean? It seems to be part of the Arabic/Hebrew H-M-D name family, so the definition likely has something to do with “praise.”

And now for the question of the day: If you could carve your name — in letters this big — into any piece of (dry) land on Earth, where would you put it? Why?
