Quranic Names
Naming your child with a Quranic name is an act of devotion. Each time someone calls your child's name, they echo a word that Allah chose to preserve in His final revelation. Names like Maryam, Yusuf, Ibrahim, Noor, Taha, and Hana have been given to Muslim children for 1,400 years precisely because of this connection to the divine text.
Each name in this theme comes with its Arabic script, precise transliteration, English meaning, the Surah and verse it appears in, and scholarly notes on its permissibility and significance. Whether you are looking for a Quranic name for a boy or a girl — or simply a name rooted in the deepest Islamic source available — this is where to begin.

Everything you need to choose with confidence
Every name includes Islamic permissibility notes based on the Quran, Hadith, and classical Arabic scholarship. No guesswork — just clear, authentic guidance.
Arabic text, transliteration, English meaning, historical figures, Quranic references, and pronunciation — all in one listing so you never need to search elsewhere.
