Who is Asad Ullah Kissana?

Why one person has several spellings

The name is Arabic in origin — Asad Ullah, meaning "lion of God". Written in Urdu it is unambiguous. Transliterated into English it is not, because there is no single agreed rule for whether the two elements join.

So the same person appears as:

• Muhammad Asadullah Kissana — the full formal spelling, used on documents
• Asadullah Kissana — the professional form, joined into one word
• Asad Ullah Kissana — the same name with the elements separated
• Asad Kissana — the short form most people use
• M. Asadullah Kissana — with the first name abbreviated

None of these is a mistake. They are the same name written by different conventions, and which one appears depends on who was filling in the form.

Kissana is the family name and does not vary. That stability is useful: when the given name could be any of four spellings, the surname is the part worth searching on.

A related confusion is word order. Some systems record the family name first, producing "Kissana Asad" or "Kissana Asadullah". These are the same name with the fields swapped, not a different person, and they turn up most often in databases that assume a Western first-name-last-name split.

Which form to use

For anything formal — a contract, an invoice, a certificate — use Muhammad Asadullah Kissana.

For a byline, a professional introduction, or a citation, Asadullah Kissana is the form he works under.

For search or conversation, Asad Kissana is fine and is what most people type.

The handles

Across accounts the name is compressed differently again, usually into one of three handles: asadkissana, asadullahkissana, or kissanaasad. Which appears where depends on what was available when the account was created — LinkedIn uses kissanaasad, and this site's domain uses asadkissana.

The verified accounts are:

• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kissanaasad
• GitHub: https://github.com/asadkissana
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/asadullah.kissana
• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asadullah.kissana

If an account uses a variation of this name and is not in that list, it is not his.

Which form appears where

Because the accounts were created at different times, the spelling varies by platform:

• This site and its domain use the joined form, Asadullah Kissana
• LinkedIn resolves under the handle kissanaasad
• Formal documents and certificates carry the full Muhammad Asadullah Kissana
• Article bylines use Asadullah Kissana

Finding a different form on a certificate than on a CV is normal, and not a discrepancy worth querying.

If you are verifying an identity

For a recruiter or client doing due diligence, the reliable anchors are the LinkedIn profile and this site, which cross-reference each other. Matching on the family name plus the Faisalabad location and the QA role is a stronger check than matching the first name exactly — precisely because the first name has several valid spellings.

If you have already published a different spelling

It is not worth correcting. This site declares every variant as the same entity in its structured data, so search engines resolve them together. For anything new, Asadullah Kissana is the form to use.

Why this page exists

Search engines treat a person as an entity rather than a keyword, and an entity can carry several names at once. This site declares every spelling in its structured data — the alternateName property on the Person schema — so that a search for any variant resolves to the same profile rather than splitting into competing results.

That is also why it is worth writing down. Someone who met him as Asad Kissana and later sees Muhammad Asadullah Kissana on a document has no obvious way to know they are the same person. Now there is one.

He is from Chak No 180/EB in the Vehari district of Punjab, and lives and works in Faisalabad — covered in more detail here. His professional profile is on the about page.
