  • Notes 
    • Buttigieg meaning '
      Chicken owner, poulterer' (literally 'father of chickens').
      In arabic the word ABU can either mean "father" or "the one who possesses". A person who sports beard is called ABU DIQNA, and if one is very talkative gets the nick-name of ABU KALAAM. In the Maltese language the A of ABU is dropped and we fin d a variety of words and surnames starting with BU e.g. Buhagiar (surname), Bubaqra topographical name), buras (a nickname). BUTTIGIEG in my humble opinion would therefore be the corruption of the Arabic ABU DAJAAJ where the word DAJAAJ means "c hickens" or, better still, their grown up version i.e. "hens"(TIGIEG in Maltese).
