Hi Msians.... may I know why Yindian in your country have to put A/L and A/P in between their name?

e.g Kali A/L Muthu
Why can't they just put Kali Muthu?

As for Meles, I think modern Meles will not put Najib Bin Razak and put Najib Razak instead right? They minus out the Bin.
Correct me if ayam wrong.

Most of my friends have taken out the bin and binti out of their kids names these days.

I'd probably do the same if I had kids.

Why some Indians have a/l and a/p while some Indians have their dad's name (I think) as an initial before their name e.g. N. Surendran or something like that and others have names like erm.... got family name at the back... e.g. xxxx Kumar or xxxx Raj something like that

A lot Sarawakian Malays don't have it.

My friends wanted to register their kid in Canberra, of course gov servant gip shit face say "Tak muslim ke?" but they went ahead with it. TBH they're extremely religious, but didn't find the need to add bin or binti.

Thats true...at one point in time, if I'm not mistaken around 2003, the a/p and a/l was made optional, but its being put in place now. Not sure whats the reason.

Correct me if I'm wrong, i thought children with no "bin/binti" now being implemented by gov so that they did'nt have to use "bin/binti Abdullah" as they are anak luar nikah. Can anyone explain this? sweat.gif

is a/l and a/p a british colonial thing?

also bin/binti -> isn't that because most malays don't have a surname so bin/binti was needed to differentiate siti A from siti B

i vaguely remember marina mahathir using surname and not bin/binti though

Not sure. I figured you should be able to name your kid anything as long as it wasn't anything nasty, under the prohibited name list or insulting.

osama bin laden

that should answer your question
*
I am quite curious about his name. Osama's father is not Laden but Mohammed. Osama's full name is Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden but Laden is also not his great grandfather. According to Wiki,

QUOTE
Osama bin Laden's full name, Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, means "Osama, son of Mohammed, son of Awad, son of Laden". "Mohammed" refers to bin Laden's father Mohammed bin Laden; "Awad" refers to his grandfather, Awad bin Aboud bin Laden, a Kindite Hadhrami tribesman; "Laden" refers not to bin Laden's great-grandfather, who was named Aboud, but to a more distant ancestor.


Osama's son, Omar bin Laden also use Laden instead of Osama. So, that means that their family is using bin Laden as some sort of pseudo surname. Yet, the wiki also states

QUOTE
The Arabic linguistic convention would be to refer to him as "Osama" or "Osama bin Laden", not "bin Laden" alone, as "bin Laden" is a patronymic, not a surname in the Western manner. According to bin Laden's son Omar bin Laden, the family's hereditary surname is "al-Qahtani" (Arabic: القحطاني‎, āl-Qaḥṭānī), but bin Laden's father Mohammed bin Laden never officially registered the name.


So, what's up with this? Any reason behind this style of naming? And how does surname come into play in Arabic name since they didn't even register it?

Any Malaysian Muslim that follow this style of naming?

initially, it is from arabic word, 'ibn' pronounce as 'ibnu'
in malay, it is 'bin' which means 'anak kepada'

Why not ask about surnames? Why use the father's name instead of family name/surname?

Because some people have very long name, so it's hard to tell where it ends and their parent name. Although, personally I find short names without the a/l, a/p, bin, binti etcetc much more elegant.

arabs, especially the sauds, are very tribal in nature. they're proud of their tribal heritage.

in this case, someone long time ago by the name of Laden started a legacy for his kin to follow.....

certain Chinese communities also got, like over here you see Persatuan Lee, Yap, etc.

During the 19th century, when the British went around to recruit Tamils of India to work in many parts of their empire, they have a problem recording down the names of the workers because all of them have only one given name. For example, from just one village, they may get 30 Arumugam which would very difficult to keep track. So what they did was they added the S/O followed by their father's names and from then onwards, the descendants of the imported labourers from India have followed the convention when naming their children. With the emphasis on BM, the S/O changed to A/L.
