About Islamic names and their meanings

Choosing a good name is one of the first rights a child has upon their parents. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged giving beautiful, meaningful names, and many Muslims look for Islamic baby names rooted in the Qur'an, the names of the prophets, and the companions.

This directory brings together popular Muslim names for boys and girls, each shown with its meaning, Arabic spelling and linguistic origin — whether Arabic, Persian or Quranic. Use the search to look up a specific name or a meaning such as “light” or “mercy”, filter by gender, or browse alphabetically from A to Z.

If you would like guidance on naming from an Islamic perspective, you can always ask a Mufti a question or explore our collection of duas.
