There’s no dearth of inspiration when it comes to Arabic baby names. While some parents look up to their family tree, others pick the name of their favorite television or movie character. However, many Arabs like to stick to their culture when selecting a baby name. As Carlyle had said, giving a name is a poetic art. Arabs do not just look for meanings in names. They are also particular about how the name sounds and if the syllables flow well or not. They want a name that rolls mellifluously from the tongue and has elements that fit well with each other. Yes, everything is taken into consideration while naming in the language of the angels, Arabic. Arab names also come in two versions, which are pre and post-Islam. The pre-Islamic names were usually derived from nature, vocabulary words, or occupation. Some pre-Islamic names also reflect personal characteristics. Celestial aspects such as the moon and stars also play a major part in Arabic baby names. The post-Islamic names are influenced by 99 attributes of Allah and Islam, and the variations of the name Muhammad are also considered. And almost all Arabic names have Arabic words. An Arab usually has one personal name which could be a single name or a compound name. Generally, the first son is named after his paternal grandfather. The second son is named after the maternal grandfather, and the third son after the father. On the other hand, the eldest daughter in the family is named after the maternal grandmother. The second daughter is named after the paternal grandmother and the third daughter after the mother. They also use the adages of ibn or bin for boys and bint for girls to denote “son of” or “daughter of” (1). Millennial parents are also considering Angelized forms of names nowadays.
