Bynames from the
Encyclopaedia of Islam, 2nd Edition
by Basil Dragonstrike
This list contains all the bynames (laqabs and nisbas) found in the
randomly-selected list from The Encyclopaedia of Islam, 2nd Edition.
Although 120 names were selected, there are 131 bynames in this
list, demonstrating that many people were known by more than one
byname. I have placed the female bynames at the head of the list,
for the convenience of women, as in-period women's names are poorly
documented.
