    Arabic

    Arabic names are traditionally a chain rather than a single surname: given name, father's name and grandfather's name, often followed by a tribal or place name (al-Baghdadi) or a family name. Fixed surnames are now standard and usually come from an ancestor's name (Hassan), an occupation (Haddad, smith), a tribe (al-Shammari) or a trait. The article "al-" means "the" and is common but not universal.

    Family names differ by country: Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf and Maghrebi naming conventions each have their own typical forms. The Arabic script is shown so you can use the original spelling.
