 ==Lineage, Kunya, and Birth==
-The word "hajjaj" (Arabic:{{InlineArabic| حجاج}}) is a subject-adjective form the root "h-j-j" (Arabic:{{InlineArabic| ح ج ج}}). The word "hajj" (Arabic:{{InlineArabic| حجّ}}) literally means to intend someone or something (visiting the [[Ka'ba]] is called [[hajj]] because one intends to visit it). The word "hajj" also means to cut the sinciput. On one account, al-Hajjaj used to be called "Kulayb" when he was a child; he later changed his name to "al-Hajjaj". On another account, Kulayb was his title when he was a child.

There are different accounts of his year of birth: [[39]]/659, [[40]]/660, [[41]]/661 or [[42]]/662, and on another account, [[45]]/665 or a short time after that. On one account, al-Hajjaj used to be called "Kulayb" when he was a child; he later changed his name to "al-Hajjaj". On another account, Kulayb was his title when he was a child. His [[kunya]] was Abu Muhammad.
