Only Isaaq have a bunch of Arab names in their abtirsi. Dir, Hawiye and Darood have a lot of pagan Somali names like Hiraab, Magaadle and Siwaaqroon.

No. Other clans have it too. Many people had Arabic and Somali names. I believe for example Darod (Somali) is named Abdirahman (Arab).

Yeah I know but when I look at Isaaq abtirsi compared to other clans, it is 90% Arab names.

There are different Sheikhaal lineages on Abtirsi.com, so you are probably seeing the wrong one.
