How Arabic names are chosen

A full Arabic name is a compressed biography rather than a pair of labels. The ism is the personal name; the nasab records descent through ibn, 'son of', or bint, 'daughter of'; the nisbah points at a tribe, trade or town; and the laqab is a descriptive or religious epithet. There is also the kunya, an honorific built from the eldest son's name — Abu, 'father of', or Umm, 'mother of' — by which an adult may be addressed in preference to their own given name. Naming customarily accompanies the aqiqah, held on the seventh day after birth, or on the fourteenth or twenty-first if the seventh is missed.

Arabic marks long vowels and emphatic consonants that English has no letters for, which is why one name reaches English as several rival spellings.
