Arabic Baby Names

Get The Meaningful For Your Baby

By : Junaidi AR

Arabic baby names are names from Arab speaking world also known as Muslim baby names. That is because Muslim is predominant in the Arab speaking world. Arabic baby names are not only popular among Muslims, but many African, Americans also choose to give their child a name in Arabic.

In fact, traditionally the mother and father choose a name together, although if they cannot agree, the father has the honor of naming the child. And Muslim baby names reference specific religious meanings, whereas Arabic names (though, like English names, often with spiritual connotations) do not have to refer to Islam.

Arabic Baby

For a baby boy, you can consider

• Aali (High, Lofty, Sublime)
• Nima (Blessing)
• Hadi (Religious Guide)
• Hamd (Thank You God)
• And other names, you can get it from asma’ul husna. Such as Qodir, Basith, etc.

For a baby girl, you can consider

• Anisa (Friendly)
• Hayat (Light)
• Muna (Wish Or Desire)
• Nazli (Delicate, Beautiful)
• Shamso (Sun).

Beside that, some baby names are not really arabic such as iranian and turkish baby names. The arabic baby names may consist of ism (given name), laqab (nick name), nasab (parent name), and nisba (family name). In same cases, the kunya (which means first born son) precedes the baby names.

Anyway, Arabic baby names are very important in the Muslim world. They all have special meanings that fit their own way of life and beliefs. The tradition of naming Arabic babies to show greatness has been strong throughout history.
