Some of you (you know who you are!) will find this amusing. The course I took on Arabic names? put together by a retired intelligence officer who is now a contractor training folks like me. Very assiduous about sourcing his information. The source listed on one slide? This article.

I giggled... :-)

Tell me about it! I was a baronial herald for several years when I was in my teens. My adult mentor (the head of the household I was attached to) always wanted to 'help out' with the paperwork, as he figured I wouldn't quite be up to that part. I would always rather he took care of the court duties (which didn't interest me that much); the paperwork was what I loved!
