Islam and my last name
By Andrew on Sep 5, 2007 | In Customer Service | Send feedback »
Yesterday I was on the phone with a customer service rep for Chase, trying to access my account online, when he told me that my last name sound like a word Muslims use for Moses. I looked around online, and discovered he must have been talking about the term "Kalim allah," which means "He who spoke with God." There is no vowel in between the 'k' and the 'l' sounds in my name, and the vowels sound a bit different, but it's pretty close.
It was just an odd little conversation.
