Taweel Surname User-submission:

Taweel, Tawil, Tahuil, and Tauil are all phonetic interpretations of the Arabic last name طويل‎, which means 'tall' in Arabic. For some, Al is added at the beginning to mean 'the' in Arabic, written الطويل. As Arab migrants moved to Latin American countries, their last names were sounded out and written as they were heard in an attempt to switch the names from the Arabic alphabet to Latin, leading to many people within the same family having different spellings of the same last name.
