Mononymously?

He’s “mononymously” known as Ibn Saud but that’s 2 names not 1 “Ibn” and “Saud” 39.37.149.205 (talk) 15:29, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Nobody is named Ibn, though. Is, say, Fitzherbert two names? —Tamfang (talk) 04:38, 17 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Ibn is the arabic term for dad, so he is mononymously known as the son of saud (Arabic naming conventions) 212.57.215.78 (talk) 05:58, 8 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Ibn is the Arabic word for son, not dad. I think “abu” is used for dad, as in “father of”. 00000000b (talk) 09:30, 14 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
