Arabic names were historically based on a long naming system; most Arabs did not simply have given/middle/family names, but a full chain of names. This system was in use throughout the Arab world. Today however, Arabic names are similar in structure to those of Modern and Western names.
The ism (Arabic: اسم) is the personal name (e.g. "Kareem" or "Fatimah"). Most names are Arabic words with a meaning, usually signalling the good character of the person. Such words are employed as adjectives and nouns in regular language.
Generally, the context and grammar should differentiate between names and adjectives, but Arab newspapers sometimes try to avoid confusion by placing names in brackets or quotation marks.
A common form of Muslim Arab names is the combination of ʿAbd for males or ʿAmah for females (both English: slave) followed by an adjective of God. A particularly common masculine example is Abdullah (Arabic: عبد الله / English: servant of the One God); the feminine counterpart being Amatullah.
