True but depend on whether the clan has any clan / generation book which might have 20 words for 20 generation to follow.sundaymorningstaple wrote: I was also under the impression that the "middle" name or first part of the given name also designated the generation of that lineage. It that true?

For Bin / Binte is to indicate is a male or female for Muslim.
Bin is Male or Son of
Binte is female or Daughter of.
They don't have last name. They use their father name as last name.
Eg
Ali Bin Ahmand
Ali is the son name
Bin is Male or Son of
Ahmand is the father name
Hence the whole meaning is Ali is the Son of Ahmand.
Then some Indian has D/O and S/O ,in the middle. That also indicate is a male or female
D/O is Daughter of
S/O is Son Of
Normally for this, they also don't have last name. They use their father name as their last name. Base on my understanding

Ah ok. About Mecca, I think it's Haji/Hajjah.therat wrote:The whole thingnakatago wrote:

son's name Bin father's name.
Surname will be father's name
first name will be son's name.
middle name will be Bin / Binte / D/O or S/O
For Muslim, if they had went to Mecca to perform the pilgrimage. They can add one more title or address right infront of their name.
That's what my Muslim classmate told me but I can't remember what it call.
