Islamic baby names: Abdullah, Muhammad and the 99 Names of Allah
This generator includes a dedicated Islamic collection, so Muslim parents do not have to search several websites. It has four parts.
Abd names
“Abd” means “servant of”. Abdullah means “servant of Allah”. Names such as Abdur Rahman, Abdul Aleem and Abdul Karim combine Abd with one of the Names of Allah. Use the “Islamic lists” menu and choose Abd names to see all of them with their meanings.
Muhammad names
Muhammad means “praised one”. This collection includes names linked with the Prophet ﷺ, such as Ahmad, Mustafa and Amin, and popular combinations such as Muhammad Ali and Muhammad Hamza.
The 99 Names of Allah
You can read all 99 Names of Allah with their meanings. Many scholars advise that Names which belong only to Allah are not given to children on their own. Parents use the Abd form instead, for example Abdur Rahman for Ar-Rahman. For that reason the 99 Names are kept in their own list and are not mixed into the normal baby name results.
Islamic boy and girl names
Names of Prophets and Companions, such as Ibrahim, Yusuf, Fatima, Aisha and Maryam, are included too.
Baby names by origin
You can browse names from Arabic (Islamic), African, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Indian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Latin and Spanish traditions. Choosing from a culture that matters to your family is a lovely way to connect your baby with their roots.
Baby names by theme
Looking for a name with a special meaning? Use the theme buttons to find names that mean peace, light, strong, love, joy or gift, and nature-inspired names such as flower, moon or star names. Short names of four letters or fewer and unisex names have their own buttons too.
Tips for choosing the right baby name
- Say the full name out loud, with your surname, a few times.
- Check the initials, and think about nicknames your child might get.
- Think about spelling and pronunciation. Will people find it easy to read and say?
- Read the meaning, and ask relatives if the name has a family story.
- Make a shortlist of three to five names, then give yourself a few days before you decide.
