Arabic Baby Names

277 names with meanings: 126 girl names and 151 boy names.

Arabic names have been used for centuries across the Middle East and North Africa, and by Muslim families all over the world. Many describe qualities such as mercy, beauty, honour and gratitude, or refer to nature and to well-loved figures in Islamic history.

Because the names are transliterated into the Latin alphabet, spellings vary, so the same name may be written in several ways.

Origins and meanings are traditional claims and can vary by source.
