About this tool
Browse Muslim baby names with Arabic meanings, Arabic and Urdu spellings, and a check on Abd- compound names.
This finder lists Muslim baby names with the Arabic spelling, the usual Urdu form of the same name, and the meaning of the underlying Arabic or Persian word. Names carried by a prophet, by a companion of the Prophet Muhammad, or by his family are tagged so you can see the association at a glance. It also checks Abd- compound names against the rule that Abd, meaning servant of, should be joined only to a name of Allah.

The Urdu column applies the standard conventions: final ة becomes ہ, final ي becomes ی.
Flags 'Abdul' used alone and compounds whose second element is not a name of Allah.
Names are tagged where they belong to a prophet, a companion or the family of the Prophet, rather than left as bare meanings.
Not on its own. Abd means servant and Abdul means servant of the — the phrase is incomplete without a following name of Allah, as in Abdul Rahman (servant of the Most Merciful) or Abdul Aziz. Classical scholars hold that Abd should be joined only to a name of Allah.
They are two different Arabic words. Amir (أمير) means prince or commander; Aamir (عامر) means prosperous, flourishing or one who inhabits. The English spellings are close, so check which Arabic word you mean before it goes on documents.
Urdu uses the same Perso-Arabic script but writes the final tā' marbūṭa ة as ہ, so Arabic فاطمة becomes Urdu فاطمہ, and writes the final yā' ي as ی, so علي becomes علی. Most names are otherwise written identically.
Naming children after prophets and after the companions is a long-standing and widely encouraged practice in Muslim communities. Practices around naming, and around the aqiqah on the seventh day, vary between schools and families — ask a local scholar if you want a ruling rather than a list.
