About Muslim Baby Names
Muslim names draw from three primary sources: the Quran (highest prestige), the Sunnah (names of the Prophet, companions, and family), and the Asma ul-Husna (99 beautiful names of Allah). The most beloved names are those of the Prophet — Muhammad, Ahmad, Mahmud — and his family: Fatima, Khadija, Aisha, Maryam. Persian and Urdu poetic traditions have added names like Gulshan, Roshni, and Farhan — carrying the sensibility of classical poetry where beauty and the divine are inseparable.
