Ramadan Lantern, or Fanoos

Fanoos (or Fanous) is the Arabic word for a lantern. The Fanoos is similar to the lamp, only it is lighted by a candle instead of oil.

The Fanoos was first used during the Fatimid era. The Fanoos has developed greatly in the past centuries, when it began to take several other shapes.

"Fanoos" is rarely used as a name among Muslim and Middle-Eastern males.
