My Arabic Name

Names were written in the following order: first name, followed by the father’s name, then grandfather, then family name and last, the tribe’s name. Thus, my name tells people that I am Jeffrey, son of Carl, son of Hobart of the family Salyer.

The Arabic word bin means “son of” and the prefix al before the tribal name means “people of.”

In other words my arabic name is:

"Jeffrey bin Carl bin Hobart al Salyer"
