"Gilani was born in 1077 or 1078, though details of his early life and family background are uncertain,[2] sources indicate that his father (or grandfather) was known by the nickname Jangi Dust,[2][14] suggesting a Persian lineage.[14]

His nisba, al-Jilani, denotes origin from Gilan, a region on the southwestern coast of the Caspian Sea in present-day Iran.[2] During his stay in Baghdad, Gilani was called ajami (non-Arab), which according to Bruce Lawrence may be because he spoke Persian alongside Arabic.[14] "
