If your name is Mahmoud, and your father's name is Jawad, your name printed in English on a passport might be:
Mahmoud Jawad-e
It literally just means son of Jawad.
Other people have family names that are specific to the region where their family is historically from. Met more than a few people whose last name is "Parwane", which literally just means from Parwan province.
This lady literally didn't have a last name and picked her own, it translates as "friend of humans".
