Shatti

Shatti is a proper noun used primarily as a surname in Arabic-speaking regions. It is of Arabic origin and appears across the Middle East and North Africa, reflecting familial, tribal, or clan associations in traditional naming practices. In transliteration from Arabic, the name can appear as Shatti, Al-Shatti, Al-Shāti, or with other diacritic variants, depending on the country and language script.

In onomastics, surnames like Shatti often denote lineage or geographic origin rather than occupation.

The spelling and usage can shift with migration, language change, or administrative standardization.

Notable people or places named Shatti are identified in biographical or geographic references specific to their contexts.
