Bynames from ibn Munqidh
by Basil Dragonstrike
The following lists contain laqabs and nisbas I found in ibn
Munqidh. As there are about as many definitions of the difference
between a laqab and a nisba as there are writers on the subject, I
have chosen to refer to such jointly as "bynames". Note that this is
not the definition of "byname" used by the SCA; the SCA uses
"byname" to refer to everything other than the primary name.
Those bynames I found only in kunyas have been marked with a "K"
following the name; similarly, those found only in nasabs have been
marked "N". The two bynames found only in kunyas within nasabs are
marked "K in N". Thus, any name element I found used as a byname is
unmarked, even if also used in a kunya or nasab.
As there are not that many women mentioned in ibn Munqidh, I have
put the only feminine byname first.
