Dawud
“The Arabic form of David, from the Hebrew "Dāwīd" meaning beloved. In Islamic tradition, Dawud is the prophet-king who received the Zabur (Psalms) from God, was renowned for his beautiful singing voice that moved even animals and mountains, and his story of faith and kingship parallels the Hebrew Bible's portrayal of David with additional miraculous elements.”
Aida
“Possibly from the Arabic 'aida meaning "returning, visiting" or "beneficial", from the root 'aud meaning "to return". Alternatively it may derive from the Old English Aida, a variant of Ada, from the Germanic adal meaning "noble". The name's global spread is largely due to Verdi's 1871 opera, which is set in ancient Egypt.”
Zainab
“Believed to derive from the Arabic name of a fragrant tree (the leadwort or a type of acacia), or from a root meaning "ornament of the father". Zainab bint Ali, granddaughter of the Prophet Muhammad, is celebrated in Islamic history for her courage in speaking truth to power after the Battle of Karbala.”
Aladdin
“From the Arabic "Ala ad-Din" meaning "nobility of faith" or "excellence of religion", compounded from "ala" (nobility, excellence) and "ad-din" (the faith, the religion). Aladdin is the young protagonist of one of the most famous tales in One Thousand and One Nights, who discovers a magic lamp and a genie and rises from poverty to wealth and power.”
Jamal
“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. Jamal conveys not just physical beauty but the full Arabic ideal of graceful excellence.”
Musa
“The Arabic form of Moses, from the Hebrew "Moshe" — possibly derived from the Egyptian "msi" meaning "born of" or "son of", though the Hebrew text provides a folk etymology from the root "msh" meaning to draw out (from water). In Islam, Musa is the prophet who receives the Torah (Tawrat) from God on Mount Sinai and is considered the prophet most frequently mentioned in the Quran.”
