Learn about our Editorial Process Updated on December 31, 2018 Babies in Muslim families should be given a name which carries a good meaning. This alphabetical list contains common male Muslim names to help you begin the difficult process of choosing a name for your baby boy. If you're looking for girls' names, there is a list as well. Note: The exact pronunciation of each name depends on the original language. Muslim names do not need to be Arabic names; they can come from other languages as long as they have a good meaning. Some languages do not have an English equivalent for every letter, so they are transliterated into English letters here and the exact spelling may vary. Please refer to the original language for correct pronunciation. Names of Allah: Many boys are named in conjunction with the names of Allah, for example, Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Abdulmalik. This means that the individual is a "worshiper of Allah," "worshiper of the Merciful," worshiper of the King," etc. The prefix "Abd" can be added to any of the names of Allah to create this type of name. For clarity's sake, these are not listed again below.
