Ahmed
“From the Arabic root "ḥ-m-d" meaning to praise or commend, Ahmed signifies "most praiseworthy" or "most commendable". It is one of the most widespread masculine names in the Islamic world, sharing its root with the name Muhammad, and is considered one of the names of the Prophet in Islamic tradition.”
Basma
“From the Arabic root "b-s-m" meaning to smile or to break into a smile — the same root as "bassamah" (smile).

Tariq
“From the Arabic root "ṭ-r-q" meaning to knock, to strike, or the morning star that knocks at the door of night, Tariq evokes the brilliance of a star that pierces darkness. It is borne by Tariq ibn Ziyad, the Berber-Muslim general who led the conquest of Visigothic Hispania in 711 CE, lending his name to Gibraltar (Jabal Tariq).”
Saleh
“From the Arabic root "ṣ-l-ḥ" meaning righteous, virtuous, good, or proper. In the Quran, Saleh is a prophet sent to the people of Thamud, a pre-Islamic Arab civilization, whose story involves a miraculous she-camel as a sign of God — one of the lesser-known but theologically significant prophetic narratives in Islamic tradition.”
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.”
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.”
