    رَنَا: أُعَرِّفُكِ عَلَى أُسْرَتِي

    هَذَا جَدِّي اِسْمُهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّد وَهَذِهِ جَدَّتِي أُمُّ مُحَمَّد وَهُمَا يَسْكُنَانِ مَعَنَا

    Cultural Notes

    * أبو محمد

    In the Arab culture, it is common to use the name of the father's oldest son instead of his real name. This is a common practice in Arab societies, mostly because it is tied to social norms and values. It shows respect for older children and honors their role as the oldest part of the family by giving them preference and priority.
