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.”
Fatima
Arabic · “From the Arabic root "f-ṭ-m" meaning to wean a child or to abstain from something, Fatima historically meant "one who abstains" or "the weaning one". In Islamic tradition, Fatima al-Zahra is the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad and is venerated as one of the most important women in Islam, especially in Shia tradition.”
Aisha
Arabic · “From the Arabic root "ʿ-y-sh" meaning to live or to be alive, Aisha signifies "she who lives" or "living, prosperous". Aisha bint Abi Bakr was the beloved wife of the Prophet Muhammad and a major transmitter of his teachings (hadith), becoming one of the most influential women in early Islamic history.”
Maryam
Arabic · “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.”

“Aaliyah is an Arabic feminine given name, the feminine form of Ali, meaning "high," "exalted," "sublime," or "ascending." In Arabic it literally means "high," "lofty," or "sublime," suggesting a person of elevated spiritual and personal stature. The name became widely known in English-speaking countries in the 1990s through the American R&B singer Aaliyah.”
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".

Asiya
“From the Arabic root "a-s-y" meaning to console, comfort, or heal — or possibly from a root meaning "to be strong". In Islamic tradition, Asiya bint Muzahim is the wife of Pharaoh who rescues the infant Musa (Moses) from the Nile and raises him in the palace, and is venerated in Islam as one of the four greatest women who ever lived.”
Reem
“From the Arabic "rīm" (also written "raim") meaning a white gazelle or oryx — the most graceful of desert animals and a classic symbol of feminine beauty in Arabic poetry. The gazelle's eyes (عيون الغزال, uyun al-ghazal) are the supreme poetic compliment for a woman's beauty in the Arabic lyric tradition.”
Tahir
“From the Arabic root "ṭ-h-r" meaning pure, clean, or chaste — both in the physical sense of ritual cleanliness and the spiritual sense of moral purity. Tahir is one of the 99 names of God in Islamic tradition (Al-Tahir, the Pure One) and carries deep spiritual connotations of holiness and unsullied integrity.”
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.”
