Houdhoud — the hoopoe messenger

Arabic-rooted names, made for your family

Hi, I'm a Houdhoud, your messenger.

I was taught to carry messages across the world. Now I fly from name dictionary to name dictionary, finding the one that was waiting for your child. I know the etymologies. I know the surahs. I have thoughts about heritage and sound.

Tell me about your family — six questions, about ninety seconds — and I'll bring you the names I find.

Mashallah on the new arrival.
