Sibset of the Week: Hussein of Jordan

from wikipedia.org

Some weeks I have my eye on a particularly tiny sibset and have to decide whether or not to pair it up with another to make the post of a reasonable size. This week? I’m covering perhaps the most amount of names I’ve ever covered in this feature because we’re looking at the children of the late Hussein of Jordan; he was King of Jordan from 1952 to 1999, and has 11 children from 4 marriages. Then I also felt the need to mention the children of his children, and thus this list of names tallies at 32. 32! My favourite thing to take from this list is the feminine use of the name Zein – a name we only covered a few weeks ago in this very same feature for a young lad.

  1. Great list — is Talal masculine or feminine? Love the look of it. Others I like are Iman, Aisha, Aoun, Rayet and Fatima.
