Baby Names

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. Holy Prophet PBUH 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 most of the baby names and meanings listed on Muslim Baby Names and Meanings have been added to the database by our users from all over the globe.
