    Very interesting. But why they did it? Can it means he tried to hidden his true surname to your daughter (my grandmother). He left her as a bastard children and she carry only her Italian's surname (mother's surname). I don't found anyone from Syria with this surname in FamilySearch website.

    Because Ottoman times ppl didt have surnames. His real name is probably Farid Hussein Mustafa for eg... (him, son, grandpa) but that is too 'unwieldy and complex' so they adopt a surname from geographical location to make things simple. ISIS does this to this day, itas just a MENA thing

    I don't know too. But Homsi sounds like a real surname.
