Muslim and Arabic girl names
Every name on these lists has a source you can check. For a name from the Quran, it is the verses where the word appears. For a rare name, it is the extract from a classical Arabic dictionary (Lisān al-ʿArab, Tāj al-ʿArūs, al-Ṣiḥāḥ…) that gives its meaning.
When a meaning can be misread or a name raises a religious question, a note says so.
