Encyclopedia : A : AN : ANS : Ansari (nesbat)
Ansari (Arabic: انصاری) is a Nesbat in Middle East and South Asia. It originates from Ansar (Arabic: انصار) the Medinan people that helped prophet Muhammad when he migrated from Mecca to Medina.
The name istelf is not used as a surname among Arabs, they use patronymics. The word is added as a title to the end of the name, if one has a ancestor who was a Ansar. This kind of use of a name is called "Nesbat" in Arabic, meaning "relation".
In contrast, Iranians use surnames instead of Patronimics. In Iran, it has become a a Surname, since Iranian use surnames. This has also happened with the "Tabatabai", also originally a Nesbat.
