That's not what most sources say, the full name according to most sources, was "Abu'l-Faraj Muhammad bin Ishaq al-Warraq":

The al-Baghdadi was a title he got because he was from baghdad. Jidan 23:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
That's the problem, it's not clear where he was born. He worked in Baghdad though. --ManiF 23:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
