Subject: "Ait" and names beginning with "ait" (Algerian/Moroccan/Berber)
Author: Zinha   (Authenticated as Zinha)

I'm wondering what the surname Ait means. Sometimes I find Ait standing alone and sometimes I find it hyphenated or placed at the beginning of a surname. It is pronounced "IET" (rhymes with "kite"). This is a name found in Algeria and Morocco; I assume it's Berber of some kind. Thanks for any help.
