Iranian Last Names: Part 1

Let me correct the information about Arabic naming traditions. In Arabic naming customs, there is a significant historical distinction based on whether families originate from the Arabian Peninsula (specifically modern-day Saudi Arabia) or elsewhere: Tribal Names (Arabian penensulla Origin) People who descend from original Arabian Peninsula tribes (now primarily in Saudi Arabia) use: - Given name - Father's name - Grandfather's name - Tribal name (denoting their specific Arab tribe) - Short version : Given name , Tribal name. Examples: * Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Ahmed Al-Qahtani (Mohammed, son of Abdullah, son of Ahmed, of the Qahtan tribe) Short version : Mohammed Al-Qahtani * Fatima bint Khalid bin Omar Al-Otaibi (Fatima, daughter of Khalid, son of Omar, of the Otaiba tribe) Non-Tribal Names (Non-Saudi Origin) People whose ancestors came from outside Saudi Arabia typically use: - Given name - Father's name - Grandfather's name - Family name derived from: * Ancestral occupation * Geographic origin * Other distinctive family identifiers Examples: * Ahmad bin Mohammed bin Saleh Al-Najjar (Ahmad, son of Mohammed, son of Saleh, of the carpenter family) * Omar bin Hassan bin Ali Al-Masri (Omar, son of Hassan, son of Ali, of Egyptian origin) * Layla bint Ibrahim bin Yusuf Al-Bukhari (Layla, daughter of Ibrahim, son of Yusuf, of Bukharan origin) This naming tradition reflects historical lineage, where tribal names are specifically used by families who can trace their ancestry to the original tribes of Arabian Penensulla

While the regime's elites send their daughters to study and live freely in the U.S. and Europe, our daughters in Iran are jailed for showing their hair. We will NOT stay silent while our sisters are caged for demanding their basic rights! #FreeIran #WomanLifeFreedom #EndTheRegime
