What marks a arabic Muslim name

Arabic is the source language of most of the Muslim naming stock, and a name that is Arabic by root travels further than any other: the same name is given in Rabat, Riyadh, Karachi and Kuala Lumpur, spelled differently in each.

A name appearing on this page is not exclusive to the region. Most Muslim names travel, and the same root turns up under different spellings from Dakar to Dhaka. What the region tells you is where the name is at home: whose grandparents carried it, and which spelling a registrar there would expect.

Questions people ask

What are popular arabic Muslim girl names?
AsrNaam lists 535 of them, each researched against the classical Arabic lexicons. The list above is alphabetical rather than ranked, because popularity data for arabic naming is patchy and a ranking built on guesswork is worse than none.
Are arabic names Islamic names?
Origin and permissibility are different questions. Islamic tradition asks that a name carry a good meaning and not claim for a person what belongs to God alone. A name can be Persian, Turkic or Wolof in origin and meet both conditions, and many on this page do.
How is the Ilm ul Huroof reading produced?
Each Arabic letter of the name is read against the divine name and element the classical Science of Letters attaches to it. The full method and its sources are set out on the Ilm ul Huroof page.
