Questions people ask
What are popular indonesian and malay Muslim girl names?
AsrNaam lists 29 of them, each researched against the classical Arabic lexicons. The list above is alphabetical rather than ranked, because popularity data for indonesian and malay naming is patchy and a ranking built on guesswork is worse than none.
Are indonesian and malay 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.
