Ayoub Family History
Ayoub Name Meaning
Arabic: from the personal name Ayyūb the Arabic form of the Biblical Hebrew name Iyob ‘Job’. In the suras Job is regarded as a messenger of God/Allah. The spread of the name among Muslims is partly due to the fame of Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb (c. 1138–1193) known in Europe as Saladin founder of the Ayyubid dynasty in Egypt. This surname is also borne by Christians e.g. in Lebanon.
