What is the Arabic patronymic name?
The nasab (Arabic: نسب, lit. 'lineage') is a patronymic or matronymic, or a series thereof. It indicates the person's heritage by the word ibn (ابن "son of", colloquially bin) or ibnat ("daughter of", also بنت bint, abbreviated bte.). Ibn Khaldun (ابن خلدون) means "son of Khaldun".
