Islamic baby names beginning with A

Islamic tradition asks two things of a name: that its meaning be good, and that it not claim for a child what belongs to God alone. Every name listed on this page is checked against both, which is why a pleasant-sounding name with an unhappy meaning does not appear here.

12 of them appear in the Quran or are borne by a figure named in it.

Questions about Muslim names starting with A

How many Muslim baby names start with A?
AsrNaam lists 431 of them. Across boys and girls together the letter A accounts for 431 researched names, 274 for boys and 157 for girls. Every one has its Arabic spelling, its meaning, and its letter-by-letter Ilm ul Huroof reading.

There is no single answer, which is what makes this letter interesting. Most often A stands for Ain (ع), which opens 207 of these names. It can also stand for Hamza and Alif. Each of those Arabic letters has its own element and divine name in the Science of Letters, so two names that look alike in English can read very differently.
