Names in Algeria

Algerian given names often have Arabic, Islamic, or Berber (Amazigh) roots. Some French influences can also be seen because of the country’s colonial past.

Historically, many Algerians used names with multiple components that reflected their lineage, heritage, and origins. French colonizers began imposing the practice of using shorter, fixed family names during the 19th century. This involved forcibly changing some family names (sometimes to names that were intended to be demeaning). Some Algerians have changed their surnames as a way of reclaiming their heritage.

In Algeria, women officially keep their own family name when they marry rather than taking their husband’s.
