Aljahidh is for eg. a kunya , So Kunya is not only used for the Abu and
Umm etc...
Also a Hadith of the prophet: when you meet a person you like ask him
about his name, his kunya and his laqab. In the Jahilliya there wasn't a
Umm or Abu, there were the Nicknames like nowadays: Alkhansa,
antara,etc...
So this means that Kunya was percieved in the jahilliya, in the
pre-islamic and the late islamic time period a Nickname.
So gramatically (officially) kunya is indeed Nickname!
