[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?
