Arabic names come from a living language, written right-to-left in script that's been refined for over 1,500 years. Most have precise, poetic meanings — Layla means 'night,' Dana means 'pearl,' and names like Asher speak to happiness and fortune. Many tie directly to the Quran, early Islamic history, or Arab cultural heroes, which is why they carry weight across Muslim and Arab communities worldwide.

You'll find the same name spelled several different ways in English — Aaliyah, Xavier, and others shift across transliterations from Arabic to the Latin alphabet. Every name here includes its meaning and origin, so you can understand not just how to say it, but what it says. Mix genders, mix regions, mix eras: these are the names that traveled with traders, scholars, and families.
