Al Ghazi (اÙغازÙ) means "The Conqueror".
Those who said "warrior" mean right, but better English word for Ghazi is conqueror.

"Al Ghazi" is Arabic and can be literally translated to "the warrior". It may sometimes have a negative connotation because most people associate it with someone who attacks by surprise. Hence, the Arabic word "Ghazo" or war.
Take care. Hope I've helped.
