Behind the Name: Arabic Names (183 words)
Arabic or Muslim names are names used in the Arabic-speaking and Muslim worlds, which closely coincide.
The majority of Arabic given names are derived from vocabulary words, equivalent to an English vocabulary name such as Faith or Willow.
The ninety-nine attributes of Allah, as listed in the Qur'an, are frequantly used as names, for example Rashid and Aziz.
List of Arabic names - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (586 words)
This list includes any Arabic name that is known to be used as a personal name in any cultural or religious tradition, not exclusively limited to ethnic Arabs nor to Islam.
For linguistic consistency, as long as a name has an attestable or logical Arabic form, then Standard Arabic form (if applicable) in Arabic, Arabic alphabet order is preferred in all cases, even if none of the people who use the name are active speakers of an Arabic language.
Names of Hebrew or Biblical origin are marked as "Arabic form of..." if the exact form is used both in Islam and by Arab Christians.
