Arab

The name 'Arab' directly derives from the Arabic word 'عربي' (ʿarabī), meaning 'Arab' or 'Arabian'. It is an ethnonym that refers to the people and culture of the Arabian Peninsula and the wider Arab world. While not commonly used as a personal given name in most Arab cultures today, it has historically appeared as a descriptive epithet or a name indicating origin.

Its usage as a personal name is more often found in contexts outside of the Arab world, sometimes adopted by individuals or families to signify their heritage or connection to Arab culture. In some historical records, it might have been used to denote someone's ethnicity rather than being a formal given name.
