Only mohd or muhamad or mohamad is not coz almost all malay oarents will put that their male child first name to honor the prophet 😁

gelaran is not family name

chinese that converted to islam also sometimes retain their family name

I will stop this thread. Too many people dont know what is different from rank name and family name. They too stupid because that is not their culture.

i think only non malay grow up with family name know what im talking about.

He mentioned that edy.

I think some with Arab ancestry still maintain family names.

al-Habsyi
Albar
al-Bukhari

at first i saw the surname merican, i tot its mexican or short form for american

Yes this im talking about

syed tu arab...

merican, jinnah, kadir --- mamak

ffuuuu

____ Tee

I tot Bin Laden => Laden is also family name?

bro...those were example for "malay" names la...

eg; syed is just in the beginning of their names. For example my friend's full name Syed Zainal Abidin Aljunid bin Syed Abdul Kadir Aljunid. I can see he's very proud to intro and carry only the name Syed Aljunid. Even his sports jerseys only printed this name.

Malay manada family name.

kalo yang ada tu biasanya descendant of mamak, paki, arab, angmoh etc..

malay biasanya bin or binti bapaknyer..non halal biasa pakai bin dolah la kot

yep and these are all syeds

This is patronymic naming system... not just limited to malay...i think some indians( anak lelaki/anak perempuan) and bumiputera in sabah/sarawak(bin/binti) follow this system...

Also some from Sumatera.

Nasution
Hutagalung

Another Arab surname - Alsagoff - well know family in Singapore.

YES TRUE!!!

malay dont have family name.
yang ada famili name tu bukan ketuanan melayu.

contoh:
Nasution, Siregar - asal BATAK
Merican: - asal India...MAMAK
al-habshi, etc: asal arab.

Got, as long as they want it, they can have a family name and give their children the family name, in the end, just a name, as long as government officer approves the name no problem.

dunno i only inherit bin from my ancestor

Who stupid now.. if u can't accept the different way of others doing stuff, is all stupid now? Wow master race much?

Back in those days, only Malays of rank carry surnames.

What rank is up to them. It varies. To the most ppl who still having them these days, merely to follow the clan their ancestors belong to. Nothing much of rank d.

Deal with it.

I remember last time got one TV3 newscaster (0f the 1990s) Ezzah Aziz Fawzy, Fawzy is her hubby's 1st name.. Oldfags might remember her.
