Arabic names often consist of a given name followed by a family name. The given name is usually chosen for its meaning, often reflecting positive qualities or attributes. Many Arabic names are derived from the Arabic language and can be linked to historical or religious significance, such as names from the Quran. In addition to personal names, Arabic naming conventions may include the use of patronymics, where a person's name reflects their father's name, often using "ibn" (son of) or "bint" (daughter of). This practice emphasizes family lineage and heritage, which are important aspects of Arab culture.
