331 Arabic Girl Names Starting With R

Arabic girl names starting with R are rooted in Arabic culture and Islamic traditions. These names are primarily used by Muslim families across the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and North Africa. Arabic names carry positive cultural and religious meanings and often honor religious figures. The tradition of giving Arabic names originated with the spread of Islam, as the Arabic language became closely associated with the religion.

The Arabic language, with its intricate script and poetic nature, lends itself beautifully to creating meaningful names that sound melodic. Some feminine Arabic names are a modification of masculine names, and you can often tell a feminine name by the presence of an ‘a’ or ‘ah’ at the end. Some examples include Rashida (from Rashid) and Rizwana (from Rizwan) (1).

Here are some beautiful and meaningful R-names of Arabic origin for your baby girl. Dive into this list and shortlist the ones that resonate with you.
