Yahya
“The Arabic form of John, from the Hebrew "Yochanan" meaning "God is gracious" — though the Arabic form Yahya is derived from the root "y-ḥ-y" meaning to live, giving the sense of "may he live" or "he shall live". In Islam, Yahya is the prophet who corresponds to John the Baptist, who was given his name directly by God and called to prepare the way for Isa (Jesus).”
Yasmine
“From the Arabic yasamin, derived from the Persian yasaman, referring to the jasmine flower. The word entered Arabic and subsequently spread throughout the Islamic world, carrying associations of beauty, delicacy, and intoxicating fragrance. Jasmine has deep symbolic resonance in Persian and Arabic poetry as an emblem of beloved feminine grace.”
Malaika
“From the Arabic "malā'ika" (plural of "malak") meaning angels — the heavenly messengers of God in Islamic theology. The name Malaika literally means "angels" or, used as a singular feminine name, "my angel". It is widely used across East Africa and the Arabic-speaking world, often associated with the Swahili love song "Malaika" ("Angel, I love you, angel").”
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.”
Omar
“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.”
Khadija
“From an Arabic root associated with premature birth, Khadija is traditionally interpreted as meaning "early baby" or "premature child", though in practice the name is associated entirely with honour and strength. Khadija bint Khuwaylid was the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad, a successful merchant, and the first person to accept Islam, making her one of the most revered women in Islamic history.”
