Miangul Akbar Zeb is a Pakistani diplomat and is currently Pakistan's high commissioner to Canada.[1]

In March 2010, several blogs reported that Zeb had been denied an ambassadorship in Saudi Arabia because the name "Akbar Zeb" would translate in Arabic to "biggest dick". In an interview with The Globe and Mail, Zeb described this as a "practical joke someone played on the Internet" and a "hoax story". The High Commission reported that Zeb's family name, historically spelled as "Zaib", means "someone with good countenance".[2]
