The word �Qurbana� has different meanings like offering, gift, oblation, sacrifice, presents etc. The word took its origin from the syriac word �Kurbono�. As there is no apt word to translate into different languages with the full connotation, the same word is accepted in different languages with a slight change. In the Old Testament wherever the word �sacrifice� or �offering� is intended the word �Kurbono� is used in the Syriac Bible.
