Praise Allah for the great blessing of a newborn baby, an incredibly joyous and life-changing blessing. Muslim babies born into Muslim families should be bestowed with Muslim names.
Muslim traditional names are expected to convey a good meaning, even modern names. It is important to know that while about 15% of Muslims in the world are Arabic by ethnicity, it is still the most common language for choosing Muslim baby names.
Also, the pronunciations of the names depend on the original language. Apart from Hebrew origin, some are of Persian and Arabic origin.
A Muslim name, including baby girl names, need not be Arabic; other origins entail good meanings.
Some of these languages do not have an exact English equivalent, so they are here transliterated into English letters, and the spelling may vary.
Please refer to the original translation/language for proper pronunciation. Many Muslim boys’ names are mostly in conjunction with Allah’s popular names, for instance, Abdullah and Abdulmalik.
This means that your baby boy is a ‘worshipper or servant of Allah’; although some translation has it as ‘slave’, it makes no difference in Allah’s work.
So, the prefix ‘Abd’ or ‘Abdul’ can be added to Allah’s Islamic names to create this blissful name.
The duties of naming Allah’s blessing might sometimes be weighty and confusing. However, with His gracious help, we, His children, can begin and finish the difficult process.
We can start together by choosing a Muslim name for your baby boy from the list below, entailing the most popular Arabic baby names for baby boys and unisex names that can be used for a baby girl with their meanings:

Muslim unique baby names are vast, and knowing each meaning, variant, and sub-meaning does not just help you as a parent pick a name of power and elegance that makes your boys’ prophet’s companions but also assists you in getting a name that will imprint on your baby boy’s individuality and future in regards to Allah’s blessings and fortune; help him work his path.
Finally, researching a name allows you to avoid unpleasant or unique names with unpleasant or unprecedented meanings.
Some beautiful names with unknown meanings were added because of their owners’ significance according to the holy Quran, hadith, Islamic religion, and the works of God.
