About this Islamic names directory
Choosing a name is one of the first gifts a parent gives a child, and in Islamic tradition, a name carries real weight — it is something the child will hear and answer to for a lifetime. This directory brings together 1013+ names drawn from the Qur’an, the names of the Prophets, the Sahaba (companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), and the wider Arabic, Persian, Turkish and South Asian Muslim naming traditions — each with a plain-English meaning and its origin, so you can browse with confidence rather than guesswork.
Use the letter filter to browse alphabetically, the length filter if you’re matching a name to a particular surname, or just search a quality you want the name to reflect — like “light”, “patience”, or “noble”. Every name links through to its own page with a fuller explanation and similar-name suggestions.
Frequently asked questions
How many Islamic names are in this database?
We list over 1013 real, individually-verified Islamic names for boys and girls, each with an accurate meaning and origin — Arabic, Quranic, Persian, Turkish, and South Asian. We'd rather show you names we're confident are correct than pad the list with filler.
How do I find a name by its first letter?
Use the A-Z letter filter above the name grid to browse every name that starts with a specific letter, or type directly into the search box to search by name or by meaning (e.g. "light" or "patience").
Can I filter by how long a name is?
Yes — use the length filter to browse short names (up to 4 letters), medium names (5-6 letters), or longer names (7+ letters), useful if you're looking for something that pairs well with a particular surname.
Are these names only for Sri Lankan Muslims?
Not at all — while UmrahPackages.lk is built for Sri Lanka's Umrah travellers, this Islamic names database is a free reference for Muslim parents anywhere in the world.
