ArchivesWhich is correct?
For a Muslim man born in the 1960's, what would his full name be? I can't figure out if he would have a kunya (name of his son) or not. And I don't understand the laqab (religious descriptive name). Right now I have it down to to possibilities:
Abu Naveed Ahmed ibn Khalid Yassir (with a kunya but no laqab)
Ahmed ibn Khalid al-Rabi'a Yassir (with a laqab but no kunya)
And then there are the names of his wife and children, I don't even know where to start on those. Can anyone help me?
I've been using this website (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/arabic-naming2.htm), but it seems more of ancient namings traditions and I'm not sure how well they still apply.
