After checking ar_* I found:

ar_EG:
name_fmt    "<U0025><U0070><U0025><U0074><U0025><U0066><U0025><U0074>/
<U0025><U0067>"

ar_SA:
name_fmt    "<U0025><U0064><U0025><U0074><U0025><U0067><U0025><U0074>/
<U0025><U006D><U0025><U0074><U0025><U0066>"

Which one is correct, or both? Arabic as a macro-language may have the same
problem like Chinese.

ar_EG:
name_fmt    "%p%t%f%t/
%g"

ar_SA:
name_fmt    "%d%t%g%t/
%m%t%f"

I have no idea which one is correct.

Yes, that’s why I asked where Akhilesh got this from.

Akhilesh’s patch sets the contents of LC_NAME identical
for all Arabic locales. But I have now idea whether

Ms  -> الآنسة
Miss-> يغيب
Mr  -> السيد
Mrs -> السيدة

is valid for all Arabic dialects. Possibly not,
there maybe differences. So I would like some better proof
that this is really the same for all Arabic locales
than just

Yes, I think the same.

I don’t want to apply this change to all Arabic locales, there 
could be differences between the Arabic locales, we would need
to have better references. I guess it is quite likely that these
strings should be different for different Arabic locales.
