I realize how difficult it can be for parents to pick the
“perfect baby name” for their newly born child, therefore we have complied the
largest online database of baby names and meanings making it easier to find a
muslim name which you'll like! Muslim Names and Meanings lists both baby boys
names and baby girls names along with their meanings.
This is also an ideal place if you are looking to change your own or your babies
name. Not only does our site include the more common or popular baby names but
we also list beautiful, unique, unusual, uncommon & modern baby boys names &
baby girls names. Muslim names from a variety of origins are listed including
Indian, Pakistani, Arab and African baby names.
Name is what a person is distinguished by. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as a
word or a combination of words constituting the individual designation by which
a person, animal, place or thing is known, spoken of, etc. The name you pick for
your baby is a word that will be used to identify them for the rest of their
life.
One should always remember that the baby name given to a child is his or her
first gift in life. Therefore great care must be taken in choosing baby names
that have pleasant and beautiful meanings just like our Prophet (SAW) did.
People name their children to distinguish them from others. The baby must be
named on the seventh day. According to a Hadith a child must be named promptly
on birth. The baby name must be meaningful. "You will be called by your name on
the day of judgment" this is another reason why it is important to chose a baby
name with good meaning. The prophet (PBUH) was very particular about it and he
always changed names that were derogatory. An example is that he changed Aasiyah
(disobedient) into Jameelah (beautiful).
A baby must not be given the name of Allah unless it is compounded with Allah.
According to a Hadith the worst of men on the day of judgement will be one who
is called Shahinshah. only Allah Ta'ala is king of kings or Shahinshah; Kingdom
belongs to him alone
Further parents must make sure that the baby names they select signify servitude
to Allah alone and to no one else. They must not append bondage even to the name
Nabi. Names that reflect love or romance must not be used either. The Prophet
has suggested names of the Prophets or Abdullah and Abdur Rahman. He has said,
"Keep the names of the noble Prophets, Allah loves most the names Abdullah and
Abdur Rahman. The most truthful names are Harith and Humam, while the most
disliked are Harb and Murrah (war and bitter)."
Please note that a proportion of the muslim names and meanings listed on Muslim
Baby Names and Meanings have been added to the database by our users from all
over the globe. Therefore Muslim Baby Names and Meanings can not guarantee the
accuracy of the baby names and meanings listed on the site. We highly recommend
that before you take any decision on naming your baby, you should first verify
the baby boys names and baby girl names and their meanings found on the site
with the Imam at your local mosque.
