While some Arab family names depict the profession and occupation practiced by our ancestors, like Haddad (smith) and Khoury (priest), many just sound like random words picked to become last names. 

If you take the latter category and decide to explore a few of its entries, you will find they translate hilariously, with a notch of weirdness, to English.

3. Al Jahshan = The two donkeys

4. Al Majdoub = The stupid

5. Koussa = Zucchini
