Arabic Baby Names

The Arabic baby names are names from Arab speaking world also known as Muslim baby names. That is because Muslim is predominant in the Arab speaking world. Hence, some baby names are not really Arabic such as Iranian and Turkish baby names.

The Arabic baby names may be quite long. The Arabic baby names may consist of Ism (given name), Laqab (nick name), Nasab (parent name), and Nisba (family name). In same cases, the Kunya (which means first born son) precedes the baby names.

The Muslim religion have great influenced on the Arabic baby names. Many Arabic or Muslim baby names use the ninety eight attributes of Allah. In Arabic, Allah means God. Abd Al which means "servant of the" precedes many baby names. Similarly, Al or El means the article "the" in English. For example, Abd-Al-Sami means servant of all hearing, Abd-Al-Rashid means servant of the all guided, and Abd-Al-Jabbar means servant of the mighty. Now, Abdul is more common form of Abd Al.

The descendant names of Muhammad are also popular choice. For example, Umar, Ali, Bakr, and Fatima are descendants of Muhammad. Umar (strong supporter of Muhammad), Ali (cousin of Muhammad), Bakr (father in law of Muhammad), and Fatima (daughter of Muhammad) are baby names meaning life, lofty, young camel, and abstain respectively.

The names of prophet became popular as well. For example, Ibrahim which means father of many is counterpart of Abraham, and Mariam which means sea of bitterness is counterpart of Mary.

A great number of baby names start with Al (which means the), Ibn (which means song of), and Abu (which means father of). El means the same as Al. Al can also mean the tribe or clan of origin in some regions of Arab. For example, Al-Amir means the prince, Al-Asad means the lion, and Al-Fakhir means the proud. Another example, Abu Kadir means father of Kadir, Abu Idris means father of Idris, and Abu Ishaq means father of Ishaq.

By adding the letter A or H at the end, anybody can turn the male baby names into female baby names. For example, Khalida is a female baby name of Khalid, Hashima is a female baby name of Hashim, Abdullah is a female baby name of Abdul, and Iyyah is a female baby name of Iyya.

Many baby names also have modernized or shortened. For example, Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Achmed (Ahmed), Amurath (Al Murad), Saladin (Salah Al-din), Aladdin (Al-din), Nureddin (Nur Al-din), and Almanzor (Al Manzor).

Name Meaning

 

Speaking as a Michael (a Hebrew name, meaning "Who is like God"), I'm really proud of my name. And I think that I - mostly - live up to the title! Of course, my mother would probably disagree; I think the phrase "little devil" would probably pass her lips if she was describing me during many stages of my childhood.

But then, my mother has her own issues; apparently her name (Kathleen) is a Celtic name meaning "Little Darling". Hmmm, that isn't the way I used to think about her during those regular occasions when she was punishing me for my "not like God" behaviour...!

And that's the fun of baby name meanings - parents make naming decisions based on many, many different reasons, including family traditions, religion, culture, uniqueness and "it just sounds really nice." But - in the Western world - we rarely do any real research into the history or real meaning of names. So when the poor/lucky child finally finds out the meaning of his/her "really nice sounding" name, the results can be interesting, ironic, unfortunate or just sometimes hilarious.

You can have a lot of fun thinking up family/friends names, finding out the meanings and trying to make a connection between the two. For example, my eldest brother Clive is apparently "a cliff dweller", which is coincidental, since he lives at the top of a very long steep hill! Or why not play the game with celebrities - consider the following:

Badu (as in r n'b singer Erykah Badu): African name meaning "Tenth born child"

Winona (as in actress Winona Ryder): Sioux name meaning "Firstborn daughter"

Aaliyah (the late r n'b singer): Arabic name meaning "High, exalted"

Hilary (as in actresses Duff/Swank): Latin name meaning "Cheerful"

Some cultures have very interesting traditions when it comes to baby name meanings. For example, Hindu names usually have connections with very positive things such as truth, beauty, happiness, blessings, etc, or one of the Hindu gods. In the Sikh culture, girls traditionally have the middle or surname "Kaur", meaning "Princess", whilst the boys have the middle or surname "Singh", meaning "Lion".

Swedish Baby Names

Swedish First Names

The Importance of First Names!
We respond to our names throughout our lives. People associate us with our first name, it forms part of our identity. They help to distinguish us from one to another.  Other people gain immediate and sometimes totally subconscious views of people, just from hearing a name they can therefore give us a distinct advantage in life, or conversely, a disadvantage! The choice of an Swedish Baby name is, therefore, incredibly important. And those of us who choose a baby's name are taking on a responsible task!

The Origins of Swedish baby names
The origins of Swedish baby names include place names,  names related to mythology and history, origins from colours, plants and other types of nature, Fictional origins, historical origins, characteristic and religious origins. We then move on to Swedish baby names which can be classed as Descriptive names, Place names, Speciality names and finally unique (or created names).

Swedish Christian Names
First names are often referred to as Christian names. Swedish names share similar first names, or Christian names, with other Christian countries. These 'shared' Christian names differ from country to country according to the language and the spellings and pronunciations of Christian names therefore also vary.
The church encouraged the use of biblical names from the New Testament and Saint's names. Old Testament names were not commonly used by Christians until the 18th century. The language of origin for Christian names was therefore Latin, Hebrew or Greek.
   
Swedish Naming Traditions
When naming a Swedish child it was a custom to use a component from both the father and the mother's name for the first born of both sexes. So if the father's name was Bjørnar and the mother's name was Gunnild then the son might be called Gunnar or a daughter might be called Bjørnild.

Baby Name Popularity

Not everybody is into using a popular baby name for their little ones these days and it's not because the current "trends" don't have pretty or interesting names, but because some baby names are popular today, this spring or this summer but they might be obsolete next day or next year. So the current popularity of a certain name shouldn't be a decisive factor when choosing your newly born's name, but it's ok to take the current trends as a sort of guiding line to show you where names are going.

Different online lists are made each year, where thousands of people vote for the most popular baby names and different ranks are given to each, judging by their popularity. We decided to share a few popular baby names by placing them in different categories as shown below. The first category containing few popular baby names is the Christian names category.

There is a large variety of parents that name their babies after characters that can be found in the Bible, as these names have a special resonation to them. If you're in this category, make sure you choose a name after a character that did something beautiful, or did something worth mentioning, not someone that is portrayed in a negative light in the Bible. A few of the most popular baby names that are taken directly from the Bible include Joshua (a character from the Bible whose name means 'God is salvation'; it is a message and Christian people tend to like these types of messages), or Abigail, a popular Christian baby name that means 'Joy of the Father'.

The second category in which there are a few popular baby names is the origin category. A lot of future parents will want to choose exotic names based on their origins and a name like Aaliyah is perfect for the opportunity. Aaliyah is an Arabic name with an interesting meaning: 'Sublime'. The name sounds really unique and beautiful and it has become an even more popular baby girl name after the R&B singer with the same name became famous. Ailani is another popular baby name because of its exotic origins (Hawaiian roots). The meaning of the name is 'High chief'.

Our next category of popular baby names is based on the originality of the name. For this type of category, only a certain personal pattern applies for parents. The originality of a name can be chosen by parents who live a non-conformist lifestyle and have a powerful and non-judgmental personality. They will be able to come up with an original, truly unique name that may not mean anything, but it might simply sound beautiful. This is an increasingly popular type of baby names.

No matter which of these categories you find yourself into, make sure you don't choose a popular baby name for your little one simply because of some list where people vote and rank the names. Think about all aspects that a name affects and decide what's best for your little boy or girl.

Irish Baby Names For Girls

One of the most crucial moments in a family's life is when parents are choosing their newborn baby's name. Of course, it has to be as unique and beautiful as your little bundle of joy. A lot of people turn to different countries for something unique and one of kind. Bottom line, Irish names have their own special meanings and are as magical as the emerald isle.

Most of the popular boy's names are Sean, Cian, Eoin, Conor, Luke while for the girls, the top baby names are Emma, Sarah, Ciara and Chloe. These names come from different origins. Aaron might come from the Bible but in Irish, it means "high mountain". Another example is the name Clare which means "bright" in Latin but for the Irish, it is a name in honor of St. Clare the Assisi.

Irish names for women are usually very strong but can also sound very feminine. This is because the Irish women were considered as strong as their men and are expected to perform equally and fight as hard as them. Because of this strength, women names have a strong meaning and personality in them. But this does not hinder them from being gentle, loving mothers as well as loyal friends. An example of this name is Alana.
It might sound very strong when you utter it but the meaning is "attractive and peaceful". This is the very same reason why parents opt for Irish names for their little girls because it is strong in sound but does not forget the daintiness and softness of a true lady.

Another strong name is Devan which means "poet". One of the favourites is Aidan which means "the little fiery one". A popular Irish girl's name is Sarah which is closely related to the story "The Little Princess" because of the name's meaning which is actually "princess". No matter what name and origin you decide to name your precious one, it all boils down to giving him or her something meaningful and unique that he or she can grow into and carry with pride in the future.

The most important thing about getting baby clothes is knowing which one is right for your baby.
