418 Muslim Baby Boy Names with Meaning
Find names your way
Counting names…
Muslim boy names on a family shortlist usually start from a Quranic word or a Persian root, then get tested in daily speech. Ayaan means a gift of God. Arham means merciful. Kabir means great, and it is loved far beyond one community. Chirag means a lamp, a Persian word that feels at home in many Indian cities. Say the name with the father's name. Some families add an Arabic meaning that elders can explain at the aqiqah, others simply want a name the child will not have to correct. Keep the one that still feels easy after a few days, not what looked grand on a card.
Aamil means Hardworking. Aamir means Prosperous; full of life. Aariz means Respectable; leader. Aatif means Compassionate.
