Learn about our editorial process Print FG trade / Getty Images Arabic is a language spoken in dozens of countries by over 200 million people in the world today. Arabic speakers are predominantly found in some parts of Africa and the Middle East. The language is that of the Qur’an which means that it's revered and often spoken by Muslims across the world. You might want to give your child an Arabic name because of your African or Middle Eastern heritage, because you practice Islam, or even because you love and respect the language. Arabic names are typically made up of five parts instead of the customary three-part names used in many areas of the world. The first part is what is called the 'ism,' or the first name. There is also the 'nasab,' which is a name that indicates the person's heritage. The 'nisbah' is the surname or family name, and the 'kunya' is a name used to refer to the bearer’s firstborn son or daughter. The 'ism' is usually full of meaning and family history. Much thought is put into naming every child, and the meaning of each name is deeply considered. When writing the names in Arabic it’s important to pay attention to the intricacies of the written language. A slight change in any of the characters in the name could change the entire meaning. 50 Persian Baby Names Popular Arabic Baby Names: Meanings and Origins Name Meaning Origin Amina Faithful Arabic Amir Prince Arabic Fatima Captivating Arabic Jamal Beauty Arabic Kareem Nobel Arabic Layla Night Arabic Malik King Arabic Muhammad To praise Arabic Nadia Tender Arabic Sara Joy, delight Arabic Popular Arabic Baby Names For Girls Here are some of the most popular Arabic names for girls.
