Ali is a common name in Gielinor, especially in the Kharidian Desert region. Its use became common when a mayor of Pollnivneach wrote in his will that his fortune was to be left to 'Ali'. When no legitimate contender surfaced, a huge number of Pollnivneans had their names legally changed to 'Ali' in an effort to claim it. The practice of naming children 'Ali' has since become tradition, mainly in Pollnivneach.
