[Al] '''Jazira''' (جزيرة) means ''[the] island
Other possible transcriptions include Jazeera, Jazira, Jazeerah, Gezirah, Gazirah, Gazira, Gazeera, Gazeerah, Gezeerah. The Arabic definite article ''al'' is not always included, but if it is included, it may then be perceived as incorrect to say ''"the al Jazira"'' (two definite articles), except where the ''al'' is treated as part of the brand name: ''"the Al Jazeera TV channel"''.
