Not only Arabic

Choosing a name

Say the name out loud with your family name, and read its meaning in Arabic as well as in English. The Prophet ﷺ said the most beloved names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman,¹ and he changed names with bad meanings.² Any name with a good meaning is a sound choice.
