Pakistani surnames are divided into three categories: Islamic naming convention, cultural names and ancestral names. In Pakistan a person is either referred by his or her Islamic name or from tribe name (if it is specified), respectively.
Most Sindhi tribes, clans and surnames are a modified form of a patronymic and typically end with the suffix - ani, Ja/Jo, or Potra/Pota, which is used to denote descent from a common male ancestor. One explanation states that the -ani suffix is a Sindhi variant of 'anshi', derived from the Sanskrit word 'ansh', which means 'descended from'.

The full name have first name, middle name (usually of the father name or a Religious personality) and last name (surname / caste), some also use titles at beginning of first names.
