Al Ghalayini Surname User-submission:
The meaning of the surname originates from the Al Gholow tribe/clan in Saudi Arabia. This family is also related to the prophet Mohammad, since when going back with the family name, we originate from his sons or daughters. One of the reasons why I'm looking into my family's history is because we don't look 1% close to the Saudi Arabian Ghalayini's nor the ones in Lebanon since me and my brother are blonde with blue eyes and pale skin.
