اسلامی نام اور ان کے معنی — اردو اور انگریزی میں
Looking for a beautiful Islamic name for your baby? Browse Muslim boy and girl names with meanings in English and Urdu, including the names of prophets, the Sahaba and names mentioned in the Quran. Search in English or Urdu, filter by boys or girls, or pick a starting letter. Each name also shows its abjad value (the traditional number of the name).
How to choose an Islamic name for your baby
- Choose a name with a good meaning. The Prophet ﷺ said: “The most beloved of your names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur Rahman” (Sahih Muslim 2132).
- Avoid names with bad meanings. The Prophet ﷺ changed names with bad meanings: he changed the name of Umar’s daughter from Asiyah (meaning “disobedient”) to Jamilah (“beautiful”) (Sahih Muslim 2139). This is a different name from Asiya, the believing wife of Pharaoh.
- Names of prophets and the Sahaba are a beautiful way to connect your child with Islamic history.
- Check the spelling in Urdu and English. Different spellings (Ayesha, Aisha, Aysha) are all fine, but keep one spelling on official documents.
- Abjad value: many families like to know the traditional number of a name. It is a cultural tradition, not something that decides the child’s future.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best Islamic names for boys?
According to Sahih Muslim 2132, Abdullah and Abdur Rahman are the names most loved by Allah. Names of prophets such as Muhammad, Ibrahim and Yusuf, and of the Sahaba such as Ali, Umar and Hamza, are also very popular.
What are popular Islamic names for girls?
Names of the Prophet’s family and companions such as Fatima, Ayesha, Khadija and Zainab are among the most loved. Names linked to the Quran such as Maryam, Sakina, Tasneem and Kausar are also popular.
Where do these meanings come from?
Arabic names are explained from their Arabic root words; names of prophets come from their Hebrew forms; Quran references are given where a word appears in the Quran. When a meaning is uncertain, we say so instead of guessing.
Will you add more names?
Yes. When you search for a name we don’t have yet, it is noted automatically (just the name, nothing about you), and we add the most-searched names first after checking their meanings.
