Adjani's parents met near the end of World War II, when her father was in the French Army and stationed in Germany. They married and her mother returned with him to Paris, despite not speaking a word of French.<ref>Isabelle Adjani : "Mon père, [[kabyle people|kabyle]], s'était engagé dans l'armée française à 16 ans, et c'est en remontant d'Italie jusqu'en Bavière à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale qu'il rencontre et séduit ma mère" [http://www.telerama.fr/cinema/isabelle-adjani-j-aime-passionnement-ce-metier-mais-je-passe-mon-temps-a-y-echapper,40850.php Interview with Isabelle Adjani], ''[[Télérama]]'', 31 March 2009</ref><ref>"A German woman met in Bavaria who was married at the end of the Second World War by Mohammed Adjani, a Kabyle soldier in the French army", Jean de La Guérivière, ''Amère Méditerranée: Le Maghreb et nous'', Seuil, 2004, p.391</ref> She asked him to take Cherif as his first name as she thought it sounded more "American".<ref>"My mother was Bavarian. She felt very uncomfortable in France, where she had arrived without speaking a word of French. She couldn't stand the fact that her husband was Algerian. She said he was of Turkish origin and I believed her. Between my parents, there was conjugal racism. My mother used to call my father a jerk and my father would say, "You dirty Kraut." His name was Mohammed but my mother had forced him to change his first name. On our mailbox, there was: Cherif Adjani. My mother thought it looked American."[http://referentiel.nouvelobs.com/archives_pdf/OBS1255_19881124/OBS1255_19881124_026.pdf Adjani la vérité, Interview Isabelle Adjani], ''[[Le Nouvel Observateur]]'', 1985</ref>
