No Last Name...

Re: No Last Name…

in old rural areas a lot of Muslims had NO surname…they usually had two names…like:

father’s name: Haseen Ahmad
First son’s name: Ahmad shakeel
second son’s name: Umar fazeel
third son’s name: Mohammad Kafeel

here, the emphasis was rhyming names rather than a last name…they ALL had two names.

now in subsequent generations they may have names like:

first grandson’s name : Ali AsGhar
second grandson’s name: Ali Ahmad
third grandson’s name: Ali moHammad
