  Aladdin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aladdin (a corruption of the Arabic name 'Alā 'al Dīn, Arabic: علاء الدين literally "nobility of faith") is one of the tales in the Middle-Eastern literary epic, 1001 Nights, and one of the most famous in Western culture.
Aladdin discovers a lesser, polite djinn is summoned by a ring loaned to him by the sorcerer but forgotten during the double-cross.
For a narrator unaware of the existence of America, Aladdin's China would represent "the Utter East" while the sorcerer's homeland of Morocco represented "the Utter West" (the name "Morocco" is itself a corruption of the Arabic for "West", and the story introduces the sorcerer as "a westerner").

 Jinn - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In Islam-associated mythology, the jinn were said to be controllable by magically binding them to objects, as Suleiman (Solomon) most famously did; the Spirit of the Lamp in the story of Aladdin was such a jinni, bound to an oil lamp.
Ways of summoning jinn were told in The Thousand and One Nights: by writing the name of Allah in Hebraic characters on a knife (whether the Hebrew name for God, Yaweh, or the Islamic Allah is used is not specified), and drawing a diagram (possibly a pentagram) and strange symbols and incantations around it.
When the Girl Guides of Canada updated the Brownie program in 2005, they discovered that Djinns were an improper use of an Islamic cultural icon and made the decision to remove Djinns from the program.
