I have a character caught in between these two groups that I want an in-between name for, one that could belong to either group. Are there any last names that could be either Arabic or Jewish?

I was thinking of using a family name that was a place, like
Jordan, or Meshed (a city in Iran) or maybe one that is a description, or an occupation.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

FYI, Iranians speak Farsi not Arabic. They're not Arabs.

Thanks! I should have mentioned that. Farsi names are fine too!

I am not surprised that no one has thought of any so far. I couldn't think of any either!

Thanks,
