Abdul-Hadi Shami
born 1917–1923
in Aleppo?, Syria
died 20 December 2011
in Aleppo, Syria
At school he was surnamed 'Beylouni', whereas his brother Sa'eed was known as 'Shami'. The Beylouni family seems to be prominent in Aleppo, but quite why Abdul-Hadi was known by this name at school rather than 'Shami' is unclear.
