Pashto names

The Pashtun name, for both sexes, will consist of two names: the given name followed by the family name.

The given name is a typical Pashtun name and the family name is mainly a tribal name, Muhammadzai, Isupzai, Marwat, Mohmand So a complete name may be, for example, Turyalai Muhammadzai for a boy, and Shapera Isupzai for a girl. The name Khan is also used in many people's names. However, its appearance usually occurs as family name, Adam Khan, but rarely it may also appear as given name, Khan Ali or Khan Afsar.

Arabic and Persian names are also very common amongst Pashtuns. Some Pashtuns may prefer to give their children Arabic names as they are seen as more religious. Many Pashtun names, especially for boys appear with slight variations. The variations are due to prefixes or suffixes attached to the original name.

When used with the same name "Wali", may become Wali Muhammad or Wali Gul.

A few common prefixes are Said, Lal, Mir, Nur, Sher, Muhammad, Ali, Gul, Khan, Hazrat, Din, Bakht, Malang, and Saib. A few common suffixes are Bacha, Rehman, Said, Gul, Sher, Mir, Ali, Muhammad, Hazrat, Zada, Din, and Saib.
