Affash عفاش
Affash is Ali Abdullah Saleh's original family name that he has preferred to hide all these years because in the local dialect it roughly means "alley cat", i.e. a street cat that steals food.
By they way, Annash عناش or Bin Annash is also a Yemeni name. This may be where the confusion occurred, or it was just a typo.
