In 1600 BC the Phoenician alphabet had a linear form that served as the basis for some forms below. Your name must correspond closely to the Hebrew or Arabic alphabet.

When the Greeks adopted the alphabet, had no use for the global end of the letter had denoted in Phoenician and other Semitic languages, so the sign used to represent the vowel a, and kept its name with a small change or more known to them as (alpha). In the early Greek inscriptions after the Greek Dark Ages, dating from the eighth century BC, the letter A is based on its side, but in the Greek alphabet of later times generally resembles the modern capital letter, although many local varieties can be distinguished by the shortening of a leg, or the angle at which the reference line is the cross.

The letter A has two tiny forms. The form used in most current writing by hand is composed of a circle and vertical fuel (ɑ), called Latin alpha or "script." Most printed material uses a form consisting of a small circle with a bow on it ("a"). Both derive from capital as capital. In the Greek alphabet, it was common to join the left leg and horizontal movement in a single cycle, as demonstrated by the Uncial version shown in the image above.

Many other sources drew the right leg vertical. In some of these, the serif started the race in his right leg, which became an arch, so this font is used in printed form, while in others, were dropped, resulting in a modern manuscript.
