Spoils of war; gifts
Anfal is an Arabic name derived from the Quran, specifically the title of the eighth Surah. It traditionally refers to the 'spoils of war' or 'bounties,' but in a modern context, it is often interpreted as 'gifts' or 'voluntary contributions.' It is a rare and distinctive choice in the United States.
