Is sherif a man's name or a woman's?
Based on a press release I found at http://www.pr.com/press-release/126764, Sherif is a man's name. Here is the text of the webpage."In 1979 Sherif Dabbous, son of the founder, joined the firm and refocused on work in Egypt. Over the years, with expansion of the client base and diversification of the services offered, the firm has grown to become one of the larger independent audit practices in the country, with 45 personnel in total."
