It is very interesting to know the difference in culture between the Egyptian & the British
naming system for first & family names.
1. The Egyptian women will keep their family names after getting married, while the British women change their family names to their husband family names
2. Most of the Egyptian names have meanings that everyone know what they mean, while most of the British they do not know what their names mean
3. The British family names been moving down through history that no one know who was Mr Brown? was he a good or a bad man? was he ignorant or cultured? or was he rich or poor? was he religious or atheist? ... nothing at all ... make me wonder why anyone carry a name of someone who he/she knows nothing about!
4. The Egyptian family names usually are up to your grand father or great grand father, this way people can relate to your back ground
5. The Egyptian names start with your first name, followed by your father name and ends with your grand father name - this is how the name will appear in all legal papers
6. The Egyptian do not have middle names, while the British have middle names - makes me wonder why?
7. It is a tradition in the Egyptian culture that first born son is to carry the grand father name
Send us some British & Egyptian interesting names and their origin or story
