Surnames that begin with al often refer to the place where someone's ancestors were born. In these cases, the last name generally ends with the letter i, which turns the name of a place into a description of a person. Arabic surnames can also combine the definite article with the name of a profession. Sometimes the al- gets smushed in with the rest of the word. The anglicized name Abdul has a similar derivation. It comes from a pair of prefixesâabd, meaning servant of and the definite article al-. A common construction for Arabic names combines abd, al-, and one of the names of God.
