Dear List members

There are the URLs for a few websites that have lists of hundreds of Arabic
names. The only potential problem is that they use English transliteration
rather than Arabic letters. I think these sites are suffiecent, just check
them out.

Hope these help

AppTek has built a computerized lexicon of Arabic names.  The full
lexicon numbers 13,000 entries.  The smaller lexicon includes 5,000
entries.  For more information, contact Paul Roochnik at

Cheers from Abu Sammy.

To be able to respond, we need the following information:

1) Are the names to be stored in Arabic script or English language
(transliteration)  or both
2)  Is it Family name (surname) OR the given name that is wanted, or both?
