I know that there are some Malay family names.

Wan
Nik
Ku
Syed

The "Syed" is actually from Middle East, so they should not be considered as "Malay", per se.

How about the others?

Abu

abang abang di sulu

megat megat dari indonesia

those arent surnames as such are they? because a wan ali bin wan abu is mr wan abu rather than mr wan.

abg in melanau

Abang/Dayang (ori from swk)
Awang/Dayang (ori from brunei)
Syed/Syarifah (ori from arab)
Sayid-sayed/Syarifah-Sharifah (arab also)
Datu (in sabah)

that's all i know in swk... dunno about peninsular...

Malay doesnt have Surname

and all the "surname" u saw in the malay name is the adaptation from other race's surname style.

Just like how chinese adapt malay enviroment and we call them baba & nyonya

Wan Tan Mee...

che ku suffiah...the "che ku"

Ku Rap Bin Ku Dis

why cannot use zakaria? i dont any lucah word from it.... unless u want to make it lucah...

those are not family names, nor is it surnames. those are hereditary title prefixes that doesn't necessarily amount to a family name. for example, family/surnames shouldnt disintegrate after mix-marriage. for example, female Raja marries a normal guy would produce a new lineage of Megat (male) and Puteri (female). same goes with tengku, engku, teuku and ku.

malays do not have family names in the sense of western family names or chinese family names. but there have been numerous families that have assigned surnames to themselves. for example, Jeslina HASHIM bt Hashim, where HASHIM have become her family name.

mind ask?
some malay name have s.s.p
anyone know what does it means?

How about WAK

lol. funny list.

i've seen a few Hakims back in primary school days.

zakar yang ber ria ria not lucah?

Darjah Kebesaran Seri Sirajudin Perlis (SSP)

something like that. u sure know my cousin. his name is Don Corleone.

those are medals awarded by a sultan. not exclusive to malays.

almost like "son of a gun"...

lol

what does zakaria means la.

hey, he winked at me!!! hehehhehe

there's also

Che Wan
Che Ku
Che ... ...

this is often used in kelantan

anyway as a sidenote, please be informed that an angmor whose name is John Smith or Alan Brown should be referred to as Mr Smith or Mr Brown respectively, NOT Mr John or Mr Alan.

I cant tell you how many times i've had to correct malaysians (and consequently reprint thus wasting my ink) on this.

americans call me by my fathers name. tired of correcting them.

so, biar ajelahhhh

Che Bai

this is often used in penang, JB & Sg

raja but sek aku pastu kite namakan anak kite raja se7en ok?

Yep all those people with this kind of name are poser who 'think' this name make them special. SYED is for one the 'scam' of em' all as it originate from Arab but somehow they steal it to make them look Arabic. Sometimes they only marry Syed with Sharifah.

In Sejarah, we call em Zaman Jahiliyah

if you are to be referred to as a mr, then the correct way is to use your surname/patrynomic name.

you are not "correcting" anyone.

yes, its just the name and the fathers name ...

i prefer them to call me by my name. if i only deal with the orang putih for a short time, i already dont mind them calling me by my fathers name

it's normal....it's their culture
different than us
for us is rude but for them is normal

My Cert being printed twice due to name mistake;

they put my dad name first followed by mine

and due to this error i learned to put only my name inside the registration form

but still my other cert being printed wrongly again,

Akmal, Raja instead of the other way roud

is it a practice for americans to print it Last name followed by first name? coz the brits wont do this mistake (as for other certs printed)

malay people should be proud becoz english people always copy some name from malay....

example...

nik - nick
wan - wayne

lol..

you sure ar?

based on the language alone English is an older language than the BM, so its the other way around ...

lol it is not rude... example george W. Bush... in western Bush is thier surname, so let say Abu bin Ahmad.... so the western thought Ahmad is ur surname... that is y they calling u Mr.Ahmad.. xD

and if u realise, some chinese... let say Chong Ah Min, they will put thier tagname as A.M Chong... xD following western

you prefer what you prefer, but they didnt do anything wrong. just so you know.

Abdul Rahman Limbong - Abraham Lincolm

taknak...aku nak namakan anak aku

Raja Kesatria hikmat petala langit ke tujuh kuasa petir kayangan terhebat terjahan harimau kumbang hitam bin <my name another 10 character>


oh shieat...cant edy JPN wont allow ..exceed the maximum 96 characters

i know they didnt do anything wrong. just want to tell them the correct way of calling me. is it wrong for me to do so?

You should have written Raja Son of Akmal in the first name.
Case close.

Unless they go re write it as Akmal, Raja Son of then i

haha then...someone go ammend it... son of biatch

+1

malay dun have family name.they only carry fathers name.
100% malay name now is arab word.

word like raja, its origin from sanskrit + hindu. indian also got raja..raja gopal...raja-nikanth..

raja sivaji FTW!

SIVAJI TEH BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

make sure your fathers name isn't that lor

Biatch bin Sonuva

ini baru betul nama melayu.

Indians also have the same thing right? Coz they also use their father's name as the last name

haha true true..

ppl call me
primary school - raja gopal
secondary school - raja gemok
matriculation - raja gemok
university - raja botak (no longer gemok slim edy but botak)
now - botak (raja gone edy)

i want to put my son name =X58

if your name is ali bin abu, they either call you ali or in formal situations, mr abu. if you insist on being called mr ali in a formal conversation then yes, you will look like someone who is ignorant of social etiquettes. calling ali bin abu mr ali in a formal conversation is not "correct". just because you prefer it doesnt make it "correct".

their custom is different from the malays. so, if i befriend this orang putih because of a very long business deal, i would teach him some thing about my custom. why is that ignorant? i cannot teach people the proper way to call me now?

kalau mak die kasi
percayalah perempuan nak bg name kat anak die... tak bg can pada yg lelaki

Social conversation such as this is only true if its among white people, or of white people's formal gathering, or people who use white culture.

it doesn't work if you're among Malays. They'll refer you as Encik Ali instead of Encik Abu right?

indeed

care to explain the bolded part..why they will thing in such>?

ouh i was called "Raha" in Philippines coz they dont pronounced J

Orang putih rules, yo!

you should blame the sultan why didn't they invade england

No, you must call them 'bang'.

I wonder, if you call yourself Ali Son Of Abu to the white man, I wonder what they will call you Mr Abu?
