Biblical Islamic Names — Shared Abrahamic Names
Islam, Christianity, and Judaism descend from the same Abrahamic lineage — and nowhere is this shared heritage more beautifully visible than in names. The Quran confirms the prophethood of the Biblical Messengers and preserves their names in Arabic form. Isa is Jesus. Maryam is Mary. Dawud is David. Musa is Moses. Ibrahim is Abraham. These are not different people — they are the same Prophets, honored across three faiths.

About Biblical Names
This overlap is theologically significant: the Quran does not reject the Biblical tradition — it confirms, clarifies, and completes it. Muslim children given Biblical-Islamic names carry a reminder of this shared Abrahamic heritage and the universal message of monotheism that runs through all three traditions. For Muslim families in interfaith contexts, or families where relatives from different faiths will know the child — these names build bridges without compromising faith.
This collection gathers names that appear in both Quranic and Biblical tradition — with their Quranic validation, their Biblical parallel, their meaning in both traditions, and scholarly notes on Islamic permissibility. Every name is verified as fully permissible for Muslim children. Whether you are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or simply a parent who values the shared heritage of the Abrahamic faiths — these names speak across centuries and borders.
