It is one of the 99 names of God in Islam (Al-Rashid, meaning the Guide to the Right Path) and was famously borne by the caliph Harun al-Rashid.”

Yasmin
“From the Persian and Arabic word "yāsamīn" referring to the jasmine flower, a plant prized for its intensely sweet fragrance. The jasmine is a symbol of love, beauty, and elegance across Persian, Arabic, and South Asian cultures, and the name evokes the delicate yet persistent perfume of the flower.”
Laila
“A variant spelling of Layla/Leila, from the Arabic root "l-y-l" meaning night. Laila captures the same connotations of nocturnal beauty, mystery, and intoxicating longing that have made this name one of the most celebrated in Arabic and Persian literary tradition, through the endlessly retold love story of Laila and Majnun.”
Ilyas
“The Arabic form of Elijah, from the Hebrew "Eliyahu" meaning "my God is Yahweh" or "Yahweh is God". In Islamic tradition, Ilyas is considered a prophet sent to the people of Baal-worship in ancient Phoenicia — his story parallels the Biblical Elijah and he is mentioned in the Quran (Surah 37) as a messenger of righteousness.”
Sinbad
“The name Sinbad (Arabic: Sindbad) may derive from Persian "Sindbad" or Sanskrit "Siddha-pati" (lord of the accomplished), though the true etymology remains uncertain. Sinbad the Sailor is one of the most famous characters from One Thousand and One Nights, a merchant adventurer from Basra whose seven extraordinary voyages became the Arabian world's defining tales of adventure and wonder.”
Maryam
“The Arabic form of Mary/Miriam, derived from the Hebrew "Miryam" whose precise etymology is debated — suggested meanings include "beloved", "bitter sea", or "wished-for child". In the Quran, Maryam (Mary) is the only woman referred to by name, and she has an entire chapter (Surah 19) dedicated to her, venerated as a model of purity and devotion.”
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).”
