Name Meaning

Some characteristic forenames: Arabic/Muslim Mohamed, Mohammed, Ahmed, Hassan, Ibrahim, Mohammad, Said, Salah, Abdi, Abdulkadir, Ali, Khalid.

Muslim (mainly Sudan, Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea): from the personal name Osman, which is a variant of ʿUthmān (see Uthman ), an Arabic Muslim name of unexplained etymology. Compare Othman . — Note: Since Somalis and Eritreans do not have hereditary surnames, their name was registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.

Albanian: from the Muslim personal name Osman of ultimately Arabic origin (see 1 above). In North America, this surname is probably also an altered form of the much more common Albanian variant Osmani .
