Arabic names have become much more widely known and used around the world over the past few decades. Muslim names are often Arabic in origin.
The Arabic name Muhammad has risen to become reportedly the Number 1 baby name in the entire world when all its spellings are counted together. Muhammad is Number 1 in England as well as throughout the Arab world and also ranks among the Top 100 boys’ names in Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and Australia.
Arabic baby names widely used over the decades include Omar and Xavier, Leila (in all its variations) and Zara. Celebrities have helped popularize such Arabic names as Zayn, Aaliyah, Farrah, and Iman.
Along with Muhammad, Arabic boy names in the Top 500 in the US include Amir, Malik, Nasir, Omar, and Xavier. Arabic girl names in the US Top 500 include Aaliyah, Amina, Layla, Fatima, and Zara.
In the Arab world, popular baby names include Maryam, Noor, Ahmed, and Ali. Muslim parents of every nationality often choose Arabic baby names, so other choices such as Zayn and Zara, Samar and Rashid, Jana and Yousouf are widely used around the world.
