Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Arab

Usage note
These surnames are used by people in Arab countries like Iraq, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia as well as by Egyptians, Lebanese, Syrians, Afghans, Maldivians and Bangladeshis. The -que ending is special to Bangladeshi surnames. Islamic Lebanese and Syrians use Arab given names as well; while among Christians, these are mixed with names like Jeanne, Sylvia, Susan, Sharon, Judy, Marie, Elias, Philip, Gabriel, Joseph, Tony and Pierre. Lebanese often prefer the most French-looking spellings of Arab names, such as Fouad.

Yemenis and Omanis have a particular liking for surnames prefixed with Al-. Jordanians have a fondness for three-syllables surnames beginning with -eh, such as Tababneh.
