: عفاش باللهجة اليمنية تعني كذاب، وذلك ليس إسم أبيه بل هو لقب حازه مؤخرا لكثرة ما كذب

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.
