Traditionally, Arabic names were composed of a highly traditional long naming system, reflecting both religious affiliations and caste designations. However, in more modern times, the style more commonly used closely resembles a first, middle, and last name or surname. Often families will compromise between the "old ways" and the "new" by mixing the names of prophets, names combined with Asmaul Husna (Names of God), names from history, and the traditional or modern names.
