Maalouf

The Maloof family is a prominent American family based in Las Vegas, Nevada, who are owners of numerous business properties in the Western United States.
 The origin of the family name is Maalouf and is of Lebanese descent via their paternal grandfather.
Maloof Money Cup
The Maloof Money Cup was an annual skateboarding competition for amateur and professional skateboarders founded by Joe and Gavin Maloof of the Maloof family.
 The events were held in four cities: Costa Mesa, CA (Orange County) in 2008, 2009, 2010; New York City in 2010 and 2011; Washington, DC in 2011, and in Kimberley, South Africa in 2011 and 2012.
 The aim of the competition was to raise awareness of skateboarding and to encourage participation in skateboarding events and activities.
 Organizers also aim to contribute new skateboarding infrastructure and boost retail activity in those areas where events are held.
Miley (surname)
Miley is an English, Irish, and American family name.
 In America, it is a family name of predominantly Irish origin, although some claim German origin that was originally spelled Meiley. Li Shiji
Li Shiji (594 – December 31, 669), courtesy name Maogong, posthumously known as Duke Zhenwu of Ying, was a Chinese general who lived in the early Tang dynasty.
 His original family name was Xú, but he was later given the family name of the Tang imperial clan, Li, by Emperor Gaozu, the Tang dynasty's founding emperor.
 Later, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Li Shiji was known as Li Ji (i.e. the "Shi" in his name was omitted) to avoid naming taboo because the personal name of Emperor Gaozong's predecessor, Emperor Taizong (Li Shimin), had the same Chinese character "Shi".
 Li Shiji is also referred to as Xu Maogong (his original family name and his courtesy name combined) in the historical novels "Shuo Tang" and "Sui Tang Yanyi". Adin
Adin is an uncommon family name found today in England, the United States (particularly New York City), New Zealand, Sweden, the Basque country, Turkey and Israel.
 Since the name occurs in the Old Testament, it has been suggested that the name has Jewish origins since it is mentioned in the Bible four times.
 However, the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain have no records of this as a Jewish family name.
 The Consolidated Jewish Family Name Index of U.S.-based Avotaynu indicates Adin is a Jewish family name that existed in Poland and Belarus.
 However this may be a phonetic coincidence since a name with so few letters might exist in every culture. Slovak name
Slovak names consist of a given name and a family name (surname).
 Slovakia uses the Western name order with the given name first and the surname last, although there is a tradition from the communist era to reverse this order in official administrative papers.
 Most Slovaks do not have a middle name.
 The family name forms for males and females are distinct in Slovakia, making it possible to identify gender from the name alone.
 As of 2003 there were 185,288 different family names in use among 5.4 million Slovaks, or one family name for every 29 citizens.
 There is an estimated 90,000 lineages in Slovakia.
 With marriage, the bride typically adopts the bridegroom's surname.
 Slovak names are very similar to Czech names. Adrienne Maloof
Adrienne Maloof (born September 4, 1961) is an American businesswoman, television personality, shoe designer and co-owner of the various business holdings of Maloof Companies, which include a 2% stake in the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada; Maloof Productions, Maloof Music and the annual Maloof Money Cup skateboarding event. Galton–Watson process
The Galton–Watson process is a branching stochastic process arising from Francis Galton's statistical investigation of the extinction of family names.
 The process models family names as patrilineal (passed from father to son), while offspring are randomly either male or female, and names become extinct if the family name line dies out (holders of the family name die without male descendants).
 This is an accurate description of Y chromosome transmission in genetics, and the model is thus useful for understanding human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups, and is also of use in understanding other processes (as described below); but its application to actual extinction of family names is fraught.
 In practice, family names change for many other reasons, and dying out of name line is only one factor, as discussed in examples, below; the Galton–Watson process is thus of limited applicability in understanding actual family name distributions. Shao
Shao (; Cantonese Romanisation: Shiu; Gwoyeu Romatzyh: Shaw) is a common Chinese family name.
 It is the 86th most populous family name in China.
 It corresponds to last name So in Korean; "Thiệu" or "Thiều" in Vietnamese; and Siu, Chow, or Sho in other Chinese romanisations.
 The origin of the family name Shao is thought to have come from the royal lines of the Zhou Dynasty in ancient China.
 The King's loyal subject Duke of Shao (召公), was thought to have originated the Shao lines. Maloof Skate Park
