Classical Arabic names usually consist of several parts and have the following structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KUNIA ar. \u0643\u0646\u064a\u0629 is an integral part of the name, the so-called the honorific part, by which persons in the Arab world are daily addressed, and include the name of the descendant added with Abu ar. \u0627\u0628 (father) or Umm ar. \u0627\u0645 (mother). &#8211; Here is example Abu Bakr ar. \u0623\u0628\u0648 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0643\u0631<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISM ar. \u0627\u0633\u0645\u00a0is a personal name, which corresponds to the personal name common in Europe. In addition to the 99 names of Allah, any other word from the Arabic language that has a beautiful meaning can be chosen for the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NASAB ar. lineage includes ancestors through multiple generations through the paternal line. Mentioning the father&#8217;s name as part of one&#8217;s own name is still common in the Arabic-speaking world today and is added with Ibn ar. \u0627\u0628\u0646 (sin) or Bint ar. \u0628\u0646\u062a (daughter).<br>This example may be familiar to you: Ibn Khaldun (\u0627\u0628\u0646 \u062e\u0644\u062f\u0648\u0646) &#8211; the son of Khaldun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NISBA ar. \u0646\u0633\u0628\u00a0talks about where someone comes from or what their occupation is.<br>Here are few examples: Al-Dimashqui ar. \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0645\u0634\u0642\u064a someone from Damascus or al-Baghdadi ar.\u0627\u0644\u0628\u063a\u062f\u0627\u062f\u064a &#8211; someone from Baghdad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LAKAB ar. a nickname can be a nickname that we usually use to address a person in everyday life and it is placed at the end. It can also indicate an honoring name or title, in which case it goes to the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An example is the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid ar. \u0647\u0627\u0631\u0648\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0634\u064a\u062f &#8211; Al-Rasheed is actually a nickname and it means &#8220;the Rightly-Guided&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Therefore, choose a beautiful name.
