Nah Leila the name and leila for night are the same words. Abdul is a fairly common man’s name, and has to be followed by a second word, since abd (عبد) means servant or slave, and al- is the definite article. So Abdullah is عبد الله Servant of Allah. Saladin’s name is similar. Salah al-Din being weapon of the faith. I also had a teacher from Egypt whose name was Ramses.

Depending on how much time they've had since their last occupation by Israel, Lebanon is fairly western. Jordan, to an extent. Syria and Kurdistan probably could be in a decade or two if they ever got support from the international community. The Arab Spring kicked off in North Africa and some of those countries are okay if poor and dealing with ISIL and other terror organizations.
