Qurbonali
Only six men in Poland carry it, so most people here will never meet one. The name reaches back to Arabic and the idea of qurban, a sacrifice offered to Ali.

What Qurbonali means
Where Qurbonali comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Qurbonali breaks into two pieces. The first is qurban, an Arabic word for a sacrifice or an offering. It names the feast that Central Asia calls Qurban, the day of the slaughtered ram, known elsewhere as Eid al-Adha. The Hebrew korban grows from the same Semitic root and means the same thing, a gift brought close to God.
The second piece is Ali, cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad. Bound together, the name reads as a sacrifice made in Ali's name. The origin here is a construction, an Arabic word set beside a revered figure, common in Uzbek and Tajik families.
No diminutives sit on record. Qurbonali stays whole.
Picture a form at a Polish urząd, the full four syllables filling the box for imię. The meaning stays plain on the page: an offering, and the name of Ali.
