| Aug 5 at 15:00 | comment | added | Henry | Arabic has bin بن and the similar ibn ابن - if you see both together in somebody's name then bin will usually mean "son of ..." while ibn will usually mean "descended from ...". | |

| Aug 5 at 2:35 | comment | added | Menachem | examples include ibn ezra and ibn haviv families: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_ibn_Ezra en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_ibn_Habib | |
