The first time I saw that name ( the picture I posted) I thought it read as معلم مصری not مصری معلم but in that blade it has it the later. In Farsi, Mu'alem means teacher, it may mean master in Arabic, but not in Farsi. In Farsi, the word Ustaad is used for master, specially in regards to artisans.

funny, coze in Egypt, I mean, in Arab egyptian, the word
- Mu'alem (masc) -Mu'alema (fem) is used for those have a trade business,
or owner for a shop

the two words (again, Egyptian Arabic) related to "teacher" are
- "ostaz" ... (not far from your "Ustaad")
- "modaret"
I'm sorry, but I haven't an Arabic keyboard,

over than that, my translator, dunno the "farsi", that didn't help

all the best
