6732 Islam/Muslim Baby Names With Meanings

Naming a newborn is a cherished ritual in Islamic culture as it profoundly impacts the child's personality. Islam baby names define a newborn's identity and symbolize hope and blessing for their future. It is essential to know that in Islam, choosing a name for a baby is one of the fundamental aspects of their lives (1). The followers of Islam believe that Prophet Muhammad mentioned in the Hadith that on the day of Judgement, people would be called by their and their father's name. Hence, he ordained parents to give noble names to their children.

Muslim baby names stand out for their meticulous focus on the Islamic heritage inherent in each name. Since Islam shares common roots with the Judaeo-Christian tradition, Muslims trace their origins to Abraham as Christians and Jews. Also, several Biblical narratives in the Old and New Testaments appear in the Qur'an. In Islam, it's also recommended to honor the messengers and prophets of God by naming the children after them. The Islamic naming tradition follows a specific pattern incorporating 'kunya,' denoting paternal or maternal relationship, followed by 'ism,' which is the personal given name. Thirdly, the 'nasab' indicates lineage to forefathers, and finally, the 'nisba' signifies the native place or religious affiliation. Another noteworthy aspect of Muslim baby names is their inclusivity in various languages. Not only are these names commonly used with English spellings, but they are also thoughtfully recognized and written in their original languages, such as Arabic, Persian, or Turkish, using the Arabic script. However, in several Middle-Eastern countries, this naming pattern has significantly transformed (2). These Islam baby names will bless the child and inspire him to lead a righteous life. Finding an Islamic name that fulfills all these qualities will not be easy. Below is our comprehensive collection of exciting and catchy Muslim baby boy and girl names and their meanings.
