Help with Arabic names

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello everyone,

I'm new here, and I was wondering if some of you might be able to help me. I'm looking for some information about Arabic/Muslim names. I was wondering if last names (surnames) are different than in Western Culture? Is there a specific meaning to each, for example in some countries they signify the origin of their fathers. Also does anyone know of a website where I could find information about Arabic last names. I'm specifically looking for names ending in "-dri", "-lri" or "-tri", are these endings that would be present in Arabic names? I'm sorry if my request sound strange or if I've used wrong terms, I'm quite new to this   

I appreciate all the help!

	Wa alaikum Salam, The last name or the family name should be kept. You have a choice of having name in any language of the world as long as the name does not carry a meaning that promote polytheism or ideas that negate the basic message of Islam. Here is a website that might help you pick the name you may want to. http://www.names4muslims.com/
