"al-Dīn" style names from Ibn Baṭūṭṭa
by Basil Dragonstrike


This list collects all the so-called "honorific names" of the form "____al-Dīn" and similar formations (e.g. al-Dawla instead of al-Dīn). Some of these come from nasabs, where an ancestor is referred to by his "honorific name" rather than his ism.

For those readers who are from the SCA and looking for help forming an SCA name, please note that it has been ruled that this sort of name is not registrable, as being presumptuous.
