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.

Nour
“Directly from the Arabic word "nūr" meaning light, radiance, or divine illumination. 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.”
Farhan
“From the Arabic root "f-r-ḥ" meaning to rejoice, to be happy, to feel glad — Farhan means "happy", "joyful", or "delighted". The root "farah" (joy, happiness) is deeply embedded in Arabic culture, and Farhan conveys an uncomplicated, genuine happiness that is considered a virtue and a blessing.”
Rashid
“From the Arabic root "r-sh-d" meaning to follow the right path, to be rightly guided, to be mature in judgment, Rashid means "rightly guided", "wise", or "one of sound judgment". 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.”
Ziad
“From the Arabic root "z-y-d" meaning to increase, to add to, or to exceed, Ziad means "growth", "abundance", or "one who increases (in virtue, wealth, or fame)". It conveys the Arabic value of continual increase and improvement — always exceeding yesterday's measure.”
