Amal Alamuddin was born in Beirut, Lebanon. Her first name is derived from Arabic أمل ʾamal, meaning "hope".
Her family left Lebanon when she was two years old, during the Lebanese Civil War, and settled in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. Her father, Ramzi Alamuddin, a Lebanese Druze from Baakline (a village in the Chouf district), received his MBA degree at the American University of Beirut. He returned to Lebanon in 1991. Her mother, Bariaa (née Miknass), from a family of Sunni Muslims from Tripoli in Northern Lebanon, is a political journalist and foreign editor of the Pan-Arab newspaper al-Hayat and a founder of the public relations company International Communication Experts, which is part of a larger company that specialises in celebrity guest bookings, publicity photography, and event promotion.
