We've already the discussed the importance of having a good Muslim name. It is not a particular language that makes a Muslim name; rather it is the meaning. Whether your name is English, Chinese, or Arabic, if it has an honorable meaning, it is a beautifully Islamic name! However, since most people are unaware of traditional "Islamic names" those are the ones I will focus on.

I covered girl names from A - L in another blog. Here are some names for the rest of the alphabet:

Muslim names are so beautiful and full of meaning. This is very interesting, as are all of your articles, Misty.

Thank you. :o) Unique or exotic names make the world more interesting. It also gives people the chance to ask about an exotic name and perhaps learn a bit more about a another culture.
