It seems according to Meriam Websters that these are really called
"titles".

Anyway, unless someone suggests a more accurate translation, I will keep
the original translation provided to me اللقب for now.
Two ways it seems, British Vs. American :-) اللقب is ok for both : )
So let us keep the Prefix/Titles when it means lastname or surname to
be اللقب ?
