From what I understand, the answer is yes. Dates back to the days of the Old Testament. I think twins Abraham and Isaac (not sure) but one is the father of the Arab nation and one of the Jews. There is a story about these two brothers arguing over inheritance, I believe this is the root of the problems that exist today.
PS I'm NO expert but this (or something like it) is what I've heard.

***Obviously I had a partially correct answer. I defer to those above me, Ishmael and Isaac, the sons of Abraham.

Yes, Abraham is their natural father. His son Ishmael produced the Arabs and his son Isaac produced the Jews. They didn't get along well way back then and they still aren't.

Names at the instant are not any particular nationality - human beings are. those are all quite undemanding to quite undemanding Spanish surnames. a individual might have been Jewish or Arab whether it become the Spanish custom to tension persons to take Spanish names. in accordance to Wikipedia Surnames of oblique Arabic commencing place, alongside with Medina, Almunia, Guadarrama or Alcaide are quite undemanding, generally relating toponyms or professions, yet they don't have Arabic commencing place correct conversing. No Arabic surnames stay as consequently of Muslim descendence, apart from recent immigrants. the reason of this is that, for the period of Spanish historic previous, it become undemanding prepare for ethnic and non secular minorities to alter their surnames to flee persecution with the aid of the Catholic Church. besides, Spanish Muslims have been forced to undertake Christian surnames with the aid of a set of royal decrees in the sixteenth century. seventeenth century Morisco chief Muhammad Ibn Ummaya, as an occasion, become born to the Christian call Fernando de Córdoba y Valor.

In the sense that they are Semites, yes.
Of course, in another way, and according to the prevalent theories, we're all from the same family--the offspring of an original human ancestor.
Which I've always thought was cooler than anything.

Yes they are, the Arab genes are carried by Abrahams step-son Ishmael that was birthed to by his mistress Hagar that he used for having children due to Sara's infertility. Then by a miracle Sara gave birth to Issac dispite her infertility who was the son that carried the genes of the Jewish people (and generations later lead to the birth of Jesus and Christianity). It has been proven through DNA tracing.
