Quranic Baby Names
Each of these 39 names is tied to a verse: the name appears in it, shares its root letters with it, or comes from the letters that open a surah. Every verse on a name's page is copied from its source and checked against it letter for letter; the English meaning is quoted word for word, except that prophets' names and Maryam's are given in their Arabic forms. Nothing is paraphrased from memory.
Tap any name to read the verse, its meaning, and how to say it.
