For example, the Arab name "Saleh bin Tarif bin Khaled Al-Fulani" translates as "Saleh, son of Tarif, son of Khaled; of the family Al-Fulani" (cf. <a href="/wiki/Arabic_name#Arab_family_naming_convention" title="Arabic name">Arab family naming conventions</a>). Accordingly, the opposite of <i>ibn</i>/<i>bin</i> is <i>abu,</i> meaning "the father of."
