Somali name
In Somali society, each individual has a given name. Sometimes it is presented along with the father's given name, and sometimes the paternal grandfather's given name is attached as well. For example Axmed Yusuf Qaasim would be a person whose given name is "Axmed", whose father's proper name was "Yusuf" and whose grandfather's name was "Qaasim".[1] Most names are of Islamic roots (e.g. Muhammed, Hassan, Ali, Ibrahim) whilst others are cultural (e.g. Guleed, Ashkir) .[2]
