"The prefix "from" is how you know a family comes from the old middle class. Rich families used "the", as in "Jane TheCeo or Peter TheChairman."

"Working class families just don't get a prefix. That's why there are so many James Burgerkings out there".

The Arabic Ibn works as well, unless I'm mistaken. Like McMurphy, IbnRasshad.
