The story of the Wahab surname

Wahab comes from Arabic al-Wahhab, the giver or bestower. It is common in Muslim naming and can belong to Sindhi families, but it is not a Sindhi tribe or nukh by itself. Treat it as a family-history prompt: where in Sindh, which language at home, and what community identity did elders use?
