Unisex Islamic Names — Gender-Neutral Muslim Baby Names

Unisex Islamic names are not a modern invention — they are names whose meanings are so universally applicable, or whose classical Arabic form is so gender-neutral, that they have been given to both boys and girls across many generations of Islamic history. Light is light. Blessed is blessed. The one who praises Allah is honored regardless of gender. These are not names that straddle gender; they are names that transcend it.

About Unisex Names

In classical Arabic, gender is grammatically marked through different letter patterns — but many names exist in forms that are used for both. Noor (light) has been given to boys and girls throughout Islamic history. Rayan (lush/gate of paradise) is used for both in different Muslim cultures. Safa (pure water) appears as a male and female name. Taha (a Quranic letter name) is used for boys across the Arab world but has female equivalents elsewhere.

This collection gathers Islamic names with confirmed historical usage for both boys and girls — not names that happen to sound gender-neutral in English, but names that genuine Islamic tradition has assigned to both genders. Each name includes its documented male and female usage across different Muslim cultures, its Arabic root and complete meaning, and the specific cultural context (Arab, Turkish, South Asian) where each gender usage is most common.
