Muslim Baby Names Meaning Love

What Muslim names meaning love have in common

The Arabic for love is not one word. Hubb shares its root with habba, a seed, and carries the sense of something that takes hold and grows. Wudd is love that has settled into constancy, which is why al-Wadud is a divine name and hubb is not. Ishq is love that overwhelms, and the tradition is careful with it. Names drawn from these roots are not interchangeable.

The classical roots this meaning is carried by:

• و-د-دwudd, settled, steady affection, and al-Wadud, the Loving.
• ح-ب-بhubb, love as attachment, from the same root as a seed.
• ع-ش-قishq, love as overwhelming, the word the Sufi poets took.
