Muslim Girl Names Meaning Wisdom

What Muslim names meaning wisdom have in common

Hikmah, wisdom, comes from a root that also gives the bridle of a horse. Wisdom is what restrains and directs, not what accumulates. That is the difference from ilm, knowledge, which the Quran returns to more than almost any other subject. A person can have ilm without hikmah, and the tradition says so plainly. Names in this family choose one or the other.

The classical roots this meaning is carried by:

• ح-ك-مhikmah, wisdom as right judgment, from the bridle that steadies.
• ع-ل-مilm, knowledge, the most repeated theme in the Quran after God.
• ف-ه-مfahm, understanding, grasping the sense of a thing.
