""Maǧnūn" is an Arabic word that means "mad" or "crazy."

However, in literature, it often carries a more nuanced meaning, particularly in the context of the famous love story of Layla and Majnun.

In this story, Majnun (originally Qays) becomes "mad" with love for Layla. This "madness" is not a sign of mental instability, but rather an intense, all-consuming passion that transcends the boundaries of societal norms and expectations. "
