"Umm Ali" is named after a historical event: When Princess Shajar al-Durr killed Aybak, he had another wife who had a son named Ali. After Shajar al-Durr was killed and Ali became ruler, his mother made a sweet dessert with sugar and ghee and distributed it to the people to celebrate her son's ascension. Since then, Umm Ali has become a popular Egyptian dessert.
