About the name Ahnaf
Ahnaf is a boy's name from Arabic أَحْنَف, an adjective from the root ح-ن-ف, which carries the sense of bending or turning to the side. The same root gives ḥanaf, 'clubfoot', an inward turning of the foot, so Ahnaf means 'having a crooked foot' or 'clubfooted'. The name is given in Malaysia.
