114 Pakistan Baby Boy Names With Meanings

Pakistan is a multi-ethnic and multi-language Islamic country that has unique values and customs. Located on the western border of India, it has a history of conquest and migration and is diverse in many ways. Pakistani boy names are derived from Arabic or Indo-Persian roots and could be based on ethnic, familial, regional, and religious traditions. Pakistanis’ respect for their tribes and the family identity reflects in how they name their children, and thus, they typically follow a specific convention. Both boys and girls are given a personal name, and it is followed by the family or father’s name (1). If an individual has more than a single given name, then one of them is selected as the most called name. This is the name by which that person is called or referred to by others informally. Also, in such cases, their full name may solely comprise their given names. There’s yet another convention which is to prefix the person’s first or given name with a title. This title is predominantly linked to his tribal lineage. Muhammad, the name of the Islamic prophet, is one of the most revered names in Pakistan and is traditionally adopted as the first given name for Muslim boys when they have multiple given names. Other common names reflect the virtues that the community upholds, such as compassion, strength, justice, companionship, and the willingness to offer support to others.
