Muslim Names with Islamic meanings
For Muslims, a proper Islamic name is not just a label or a social convention, but a symbol of identity as a Muslim. The name chosen should reflect the parent’s aspirations for their child and reflect Islamic values and beliefs. Many Islamic names have meanings that are rooted in the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. For example, the name “Mohammed” means “praised” in Arabic, while the name “Fatima” means “captivating” or “charming”.
Choosing an appropriate Islamic name can also help to instill a strong sense of Islamic cultural heritage in the child, connecting them to the wider Muslim community and to the history and traditions of Islam.
