Halabi
Halabi (Arabic: حلبي - الحلبي) is an Arabic surname, or nisba, denoting origin from Aleppo (Halab) (Arabic: حلب), Syria, or those who traded with Aleppo residents. It is the surname of a number of different families, each of which was named after the city, typically due to the family having originated from there. Variations of the name include adding the semitic definite articles Al- or El-. Halabi includes people from the faiths of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and Druze. Part of those who are Muslims have migrated to Northern Jordan to cities such as Irbid and Amman. Others have migrated to Morocco, while some have gone to cities in Western Saudi Arabia such as Jeddah, Medina, and Mecca. Many Halabi Christians have migrated to United States, England, and other European countries. Druze ElHalabi are found in Lebanon, Israel, Morocco, Canada, the United States, among other countries. Variants of this name are Haleb, Halep, and Halepovich. "Halepovich" is common among Slavic Muslims in the Balkans; or Halevi, Halavi in Jewish names.
