Personal Names in Monumental Inscriptions From Persia and Transoxiana

Ursula Georges



Introduction - Isms - Full Data



Isms

The following tables collect given names or isms found in The Monumental Inscriptions from Early Islamic Iran and Transoxiana. I have included only names used as given names in my data, not isms which appear as components of kunyas or patronymics. A full name may be constructed from these tables by choosing a given name followed by ibn 'son of' or bint 'daughter of' and a father's given name. More detailed information about notation and transliteration of the names, as well as name structure, may be found in the Introduction.
