More Arabic names

Mohammad

From the Arabic Muhammad, derived from the root ḥ-m-d meaning "to praise, to commend", making the name mean "praiseworthy" or "the praised one". It is the name of the Prophet of Islam, born in Mecca around 570 CE, and is estimated to be one of the most common given names in the world. The name carries the theological weight of Islam's founding figure.

Zuleikha

From Arabic "Zulaykha", of uncertain etymology — possibly from an Aramaic or Coptic root. In Islamic and Persian literary tradition, Zuleikha is the name given to Potiphar's wife (unnamed in the Bible) who falls in love with the prophet Yusuf (Joseph) and attempts to seduce him — her story was famously retold by the Persian poet Jami in "Yusuf and Zulaikha" as a Sufi allegory of the soul's love for God.

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).

Karim

Karim is an Arabic masculine name meaning "generous", "noble", or "honourable", derived from the root k-r-m. It is one of the ninety-nine names of God in Islam (Al-Karim, "The Most Generous"). The name is widely used across the Arab world, North Africa, and in French-speaking Muslim communities, making it common in contemporary French literary fiction.

Khadijah

A variant spelling of Khadija, from an Arabic root meaning "premature child" or "born early", though the name is associated entirely with honor and strength. The variant spelling Khadijah reflects the Arabic definite article voweling and is used interchangeably with Khadija — both refer to the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad and one of the most important women in Islamic history.

Jibril

The Arabic form of Gabriel, from the Hebrew "Gavri'el" meaning "God is my strength" or "strong man of God", compounded from "gibbor" (strong, mighty) and "El" (God). In Islam, Jibril is the archangel who revealed the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad — the most important angel in Islamic theology and the divine messenger par excellence.
