Frequently Asked Questions

2. Are there any traditional naming customs in Urdu-speaking cultures?
Urdu or Pakistani names have origins in Arabic, Indo-Persian, and Turkish cultures. Since tribal and familial identity is given much consideration, people add their tribe's name to their family’s. Traditional Arabic-Abrahamic names are prolific. Some examples are Muhammad, Yusuf, and Ali. However, today European-style naming systems gained much popularity in Pakistan (2).

4. What is the role of religion in choosing Urdu baby names?
The Urdu-speaking people give the first name, sometimes just an honorary name. It shows a connection with the Islamic faith. A second shorter name is then given to the baby, by which they are commonly known. Muslims also avoid using names that convey worshiping anything other than Allah. Parents also seek the suggestions of grandparents and Imam while naming their baby.
