agree  Nesrin: it's not just a case of junior being younger than senior - Junior refers to the son of Senior. See dictionary definition "Abbr. Jr. Used to distinguish a son from his father when they have the same given name."

agree  Randa F: جون الإبن - مثال: جورج بوش الأب و جورج بوش الإبن - جورج سينيور و جورج جونيور، وهي تعني الأصغر ولكن في الأسماء يقال في العربية الأب والإبن وليس الأكبر والأصغر
