No pronunciation help, but in "Dinosaur Impressions," Philippe Taquet, as translated by Kevin Padian, writes:

      Accordingly, I had decided to name the new species _Ouranosaurus
      nigeriensis_. The first term was taken from the Arab word _ourane_,
      which signifies "valiant, courageous, bold." This name was given by
      the Tuaregs of Niger to the sand monitor lizard.
