Arabic vocabulary
بُنَّ is how you say “son of” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ عَلِمَ بِذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بُنَّ عَامِرٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ
So the first who knew of that was Abd Allah ibn Amir al-Azdi.
بُنَّ — son of. A name-connector, 'son of', linking the man to his father within his full name. It heads an 'of' pairing with the father's name that follows and sits between the two names, knitting them into one identity. It carries the patronymic onward after the 'servant of God' element.
