Help[Facts] Arabic surname meaning? (re-post)
Sorry for re-posting, but I think this got lost...
I am considering using a certain surname in a story, and I'm aware that meaning in names can be important in Middle Eastern culture.
My question is, what does the surname "el-Akouri" mean, and if a person versed in Arabic heard this name, where would they believe this person likely to be from?

I don't think your post was overlooked - if no-one answers then usually no-one knows. You might want to try the message board at our surnames site (www.surnames.behindthename.com) or actively seek out an Arabic names site.

I don't see a separate site or board for surnames. It looks like the exact same site.

The link did something strange . . .
Try *this* link: http://surnames.behindthename.com/ (I just tested it and it worked. It'll take you to a site that is very similar to this one except that the colour scheme is green).
