This has me confused.

Why does everybody in Palestinian Authority have more than one name?

"Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen...."

Is this a nickname? A complete other name? Does it mean the same thing? Who 
chooses the other name? Is this social, cultural, religious? 

Is this a nickname like My given name of Gerald and my common name of Jerry?
Is this a stage name like "Bono Vox"?
Is this an alias like "Ted Smith" for Ted Bundy?

Someone has got to know...
