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.”
Omar
Arabic · “From the Arabic root "ʿ-m-r" meaning life, long life, or to flourish, Omar conveys vitality and prosperity. It is borne by Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph of Islam, renowned for his justice and administrative genius, and also by the Persian poet Omar Khayyam.”
Jamal
Arabic · “From the Arabic root "j-m-l" meaning beauty, elegance, and gracefulness — the same root as "jamil" (beautiful) and "jameel". The camel (jamal) shares this root in Arabic, as it was considered the most beautiful and noble of animals in Arabian culture.

Umm Salama (Hind bint Abi Umayya) was a wife of the Prophet Muhammad renowned for her wisdom, and Salama was borne by several early Islamic figures of note.”
Yasmine

Nour
“Directly from the Arabic word "nūr" meaning light, radiance, or divine illumination. In Islamic mysticism (Sufism), nūr represents the divine light of God that permeates creation, a concept central to the Quran's famous "Light Verse" (Ayat al-Nur, 24:35), where God is described as the light of the heavens and the earth.”
Naima
“Naima is an Arabic feminine name derived from the root "na'ama" (نعم) meaning "to be at ease, to enjoy comfort and tranquillity". It conveys the sense of "one who lives in luxury and contentment" or "graceful and serene". The name is used across the Arab world, in parts of East Africa, and in communities of North African heritage in Europe. Jazz musician John Coltrane named a celebrated composition "Naima" after his wife.”
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.”
