The previously registered Ibrahim ibn Da'ud al-Qal'at Fimi al-ma'r{u-}f bi-Butrus is to be released upon registration.

Ibrahim - from NCS “Andalusian Names: Arabs in Spain”, by Juliana de Luna: Sumayl [http://heraldry.sca.org/names/andalusia.html].

"ism". A personal, proper name given shortly after birth.

ibn Da’ud - from NCS “Andalusian Names: Arabs in Spain”, by Juliana de Luna: Sumayl [http://heraldry.sca.org/names/andalusia.html] formed into a nasab meaning “son of X” from NCS “Period Arabic Names and Naming Practices”, by Da'ud ibn Auda [http://heraldry.sca.org/names/arabic-naming2.htm].

“nasab". A pedigree, as the son or daughter of someone. The nasab follows the ism in usage. Nasabs may be extended for several generations.

ibn al-Basir - Basir from NCS “Andalusian Names: Arabs in Spain”, by Juliana de Luna: Sumayl [http://heraldry.sca.org/names/andalusia.html] formed into a nisba meaning “of descent, derived from the name of a person’s tribe of birth or family lineage …” from NCS “Period Arabic Names and Naming Practices”, by Da'ud ibn Auda [http://heraldry.sca.org/names/arabic-naming2.htm].

"nasab" and "loqah". Nasabs may be extended for several generations. A laqab is a combination of words into a byname or epithet, usually religious, relating to nature, a descriptive, or of some admirable quality the person had (or would like to have).

al-Qal'at Fimi - Qal’at Fimi from the now Latinized to Calatafimi for the locative Arabic Nisba is from the website “Calatafimi Turismo” [https://calatafimiturismo.wordpress.com/2013/12/13/history/] formed as a geographical nisba as per NCS “Period Arabic Names and Naming Practices”, by Da'ud ibn Auda [http://heraldry.sca.org/names/arabic-naming2.htm].

"nisba". A byname. Nisbas follow the ism or, if the name contains a nasab (of however many generations), generally follow the nasab.

The Arabic name formation <kunya + ism + two generations of nasab + nisba + nisba> is derived from information found in Da'ud's article cited above. SENA, Appendix A, references this article. Da'ud states : "there are a very few examples which extend to four generations, such as Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ja'far ibn al-Haddad."

Erminois, a Caucasian frauenadler displayed proper crined and feathered sable grasping, for augmentation, an escutcheon azure charged with a moustache erminois, all within a bordure azure.

Regarding moustaches:

The only existing registrations of moustaches are from 1981, both to Robin of Gilwell. The LoaR has this note:

NOTE: Appeal granted. A mustache on a cross was used in 1671 in France. That is close enough to indicate that they did use that sort of thing in period. (See Odrowas, p. 337, Menestrier, Le Veritable Art du Blason (enclosed).)

From Mistholme: under the entry Beard:

The beard is the facial hair of the human male, particularly that grown on the chin and jaws; it's considered a facial ornament, at least by men. It's a period heraldic charge, found in the canting arms (Italian barba) of Barbani, c.1550 [BSB Cod.Icon 272:87; cf. Woodward 203].

Similar to the beard is the "moustache", which is the hair grown on a man's upper lip only. No example of the moustache, per se, is known in period armory. However, based on the example of the beard, the moustache is considered acceptable in Society heraldry. [https://mistholme.com/?s=moustache]
