During Somalia's Hantiwadaag (socialist) era, Somalis typically did not have surnames or family names,[1] although since the advent of the federal era, some Somalis are beginning to adopt surnames or family names.[2] In the aforementioned format, 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]
