More Arabic names

Luqman

Of ancient Semitic origin, Luqman is possibly related to Hebrew roots but is most prominent as an Arabic name of somewhat uncertain etymology. In Islamic tradition, Luqman al-Hakim (Luqman the Wise) is the sage featured in Surah 31 of the Quran, celebrated for the profound wisdom he imparted to his son — making his name synonymous with practical wisdom and parental guidance.

Khalid

From the Arabic root "kh-l-d" meaning to be immortal, to endure forever, Khalid conveys eternal glory and undying strength. It is most famously borne by Khalid ibn al-Walid, the brilliant military commander of early Islam known as "the Sword of God" (Sayf Allah).

Saleh

From the Arabic root "ṣ-l-ḥ" meaning righteous, virtuous, good, or proper. In the Quran, Saleh is a prophet sent to the people of Thamud, a pre-Islamic Arab civilization, whose story involves a miraculous she-camel as a sign of God — one of the lesser-known but theologically significant prophetic narratives in Islamic tradition.

Reem

From the Arabic "rīm" (also written "raim") meaning a white gazelle or oryx — the most graceful of desert animals and a classic symbol of feminine beauty in Arabic poetry. The gazelle's eyes (عيون الغزال, uyun al-ghazal) are the supreme poetic compliment for a woman's beauty in the Arabic lyric tradition.

From the Arabic root "ʿ-z-z" meaning to be mighty, powerful, or rare and precious — conveying both physical strength and the rarity of the precious. Al-Aziz (The Mighty) is one of the 99 names of God in Islam. As a name for humans, Aziz means "powerful", "dear", "precious", or "beloved", combining strength with preciousness.

Suleiman

The Arabic form of Solomon, from the Hebrew "Shlomo" meaning peace, derived from "shalom". In Islamic tradition, Suleiman (Solomon) is a prophet-king of extraordinary wisdom who could speak the language of animals and commanded an army of jinn — his magical and judicial powers are celebrated in the Quran and make him a figure of legendary wisdom and supernatural authority.
