Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox given name2

Ali (Шаблон:Lang-ar) is a common unisex (originally male) name.

Ali is derived from the Arabic triconsonantal root ʕ-l-w, which literally means "high", "elevated" or "champion" ”king of kings”, ”emperor”, and is used as both a given name and surname. Islamic traditional use of the name goes back to the Islamic leader Ali ibn Abi Talib, but the name is also present among some pre-Islamic Arabs (e.g. Banu Hanifa, and some rulers of Saba and Himyar). It is identical in form and meaning to the Шаблон:Lang-he, Eli, which goes back to the High Priest Eli in the biblical Books of Samuel.

The Ali surname is especially common in Arab countries and the rest of the Muslim world.[1]

Ali is the most common last name in Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Somalia, Kuwait and Libya. It’s also very similar to Alaoui in Morocco, which is a French take on the same name. It’s a patronymic name that comes from Ali ibn Abi Talib, the cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad. [2] This surname is found among both Muslims and Christians. [3]

The name Ali is also used in various other cultures as a given name. Among English speakers it is used as a short form of male or female names starting with "Ali", such as Alice, Alison, Alisha, Alistair, Alexander, or Alexandra. In Old Norse, Áli and Åle are alternative forms of Onela. Ali is a Finnish male given name, derived from Aleksanteri.[4]
