Choosing a Muslim name
What makes a good Muslim name?
A name with a good meaning. The Prophet ﷺ said the names most beloved to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur Rahman, and he changed names with bad meanings. Names of prophets, Sahaba and pious people are also recommended.
Where do your meanings come from?
Each name is checked against classical Arabic lexicons, the Quranic Arabic Corpus, Jamia Banuri Town's names list, Dawat-e-Islami's book on naming, Al-Isabah and other references. Sources are listed on every name page.
Why do some names show a warning?
When scholars dislike a name or differ about it, we show it with the reason in English and Urdu and suggest a better alternative, so you can decide with full knowledge.
How does the name combiner work?
It looks only at names already approved in our list and finds those that share letters or pieces with both parents' names. It never invents new words, and it never suggests names scholars dislike.
