Meaning
Salar, explained
Salar (سَالَار) is a Persian name for boys. It means leader, commander.
Is Salar in the Quran?
No. Salar 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 Salar
Say it saa-LAAR. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Saalar. In Arabic it is written with 5 letters, from right to left: س sin + ا alif + ل lam + ا alif + ر ra.
Choosing Salar
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. Salar has a good meaning, so it is fine to use. With the father's name it becomes Salar bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
