Meaning
Laleh, explained
Laleh (لاله) is a Persian name for girls. It means tulip. Lale is the Turkish form.
Is Laleh in the Quran?
No. Laleh is not a word in the Quran. A name does not need to be in the Quran to be a good Muslim name: what matters is that its meaning is good. The Prophet ﷺ changed names with bad meanings and kept names with good ones.1
How to say and write Laleh
Say it laa-LEH. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Lale and Lala. In Arabic it is written with 4 letters, from right to left: ل lam + ا alif + ل lam + ه ha.
Choosing Laleh
A Muslim name does not have to be Arabic. Scholars allow names from any language as long as the meaning is good and the name is not tied to another religion. Laleh has a good meaning, so it is fine to use. With the father's name it becomes Laleh bint (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
