64 Kurdish Baby Boy Names With Meanings

The Kurds are an ethnic group indigenous to Kurdistan, a mountainous region in Western Asia. Like the uniqueness of the region and its people, Kurdish boy names reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Kurdish communities. Over the years, several different cultures, including Persians and Lurs, have influenced Kurdish culture. Also, most Kurds live in Iraq, Iran, and Turkey, contributing to the diversity of the Kurdish naming traditions. For instance, many Iraqi Kurdish people are believed to have adopted Arabic naming customs (1). However, traditionally, Kurds have their family names as their surnames, and these were usually related to their tribe or the region to which they belonged (2). They also take their grandfather's or great-grandfather's name as the last name. Kurdish given names typically draw inspiration from different aspects of nature, mythological characters, historical and cultural significance, and literature. However, many parents prefer names associated with desirable qualities and virtues. For instance, Amajgar in Kurdish means 'a sound advisor,' whereas Ara means 'one who is strong and opinionated,' reflecting desirable qualities a parent would want their child to imbibe. With increased exposure to global cultures, some Kurdish parents might adopt names from other cultures or create new names based on their preference, which makes the Kurdish names flexible and versatile. So whether you want a unique name or something traditional, Kurdish baby names can offer several options. Whatever name you pick, know the name's origin, history, and cultural association to ensure that the name is cherished and respected appropriately. Scroll down to discover a list of delightful Kurdish names for your baby boy.
