In Arabic it's called "nisba" ("attribution") to refer to a person's place of origin by putting the suffix -iyy(ah) at the end. Here's a link: http://allthearabicyouneverlearnedthefirsttimearound.com/p1/p1-ch3/the-nisba-adjective/ Hebrew does the same thing, usually called "gentilic," although sometimes the Arabic term nisba is used.
