But first ~ PLEASE READ THIS  IMPORTANT INFORMATION ~

There are no real "official Muslim names", although it is understandable if someone thinks of names like "Abdullah (slave of God)" or "Amatullah (female slave of God)"; "Abdurahman (slave of Merciful God)"; "Noor Udeen (light of the religion)", as being "Muslim names".
           Many of these types of names were already in use before the time of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

           Arabs also used the OPPOSITE MEANING of Names. Superstition prevailed in the times before Islam and the idolators (mushrikeen) believed giving opposite meaning of a name you would protect the child from having that trait or charateristic. This is likely why so many of the companions had names that were so strange, and were told to change their names by the prophet, peace be upon him.

            Khadijah is a good example of this custom. It can mean: aborted or premature - a child born before the end of full term of gestation; especially 3 or more weeks prior.

           However, we Muslims like to look for are names for our children with nice meanings or names to remind of certain qualities we want for in our children.

It is common for Muslims today to misunderstand the purpose and value of the names we give our children.

Just because a word or name is in the Quran or hadeeth of our prophet, peace be upon him - DOESN'T MEAN IT IS GOOD.

As a matter of fact, many of the names in use today by Muslims around the world are not in line with Islamic teachings regarding what we should name our children (or rename someone who comes to Islam).

With that in mind, we expose here some names we've been told have meanings of names (for girls) in Arabic (although in some cases they might not be Arabic):

Afaaf - chaste, pure *
Aishah – alive *
Aliyah – high status & eminence *
Aminah – at peace, fearless *
Arwa – feminine of wa’l beautiful and radiant *
Asma’ – elegance, loftiness *
Basmah – happy expression *
Juwayriyah – prophet's wife *
Rahmah – mercy, compassion *
Raniyah – fixed gaze *
Razaan – dignified *
Reem – white gazelle *
Sarah – heartfelt joy *
Shaima (Shayma) – virtueous *
Zaynab – prefumed tree
