Badroulbadour

Badroulbadour (Arabic بدر البدور, badru l-budūr, "full moon of full moons") is a princess from the far east whom Aladdin married in The Story of Aladdin; or, the Wonderful Lamp. (The full moon as a metaphor for female beauty is common throughout the Arabian Nights).

When Aladdin finds the magic lamp he discovers that it contains a djinn that is bound to do the bidding of the person holding the lamp. With the aid of the djinni, Aladdin—an impoverished young man, who in other circumstances could not have aspired to marry a princess—becomes rich and powerful and marries princess Badroulbadour.

In the animated version of Aladdin made by Disney, her name was changed to Jasmine and she was an Arabian princess instead. She is also mentioned in a poem by Wallace Stevens called 'The Worms at Heaven's Gate' in his book "Harmonium".

The name Badroulbadour also appears in the novels 'The Good Soldier' by Ford Madox Ford, and 'Come Dance with Me' by author Russell Hoban. Hoban also mentions Badoura as the name of an Arabian princess in The Arabian Nights.
