History & Origin

Tarteel (tartil) is the Arabic term for reciting the Quran slowly, clearly and with care — a discipline of both voice and attention, described in the Quran itself. It is used as a girls' name in Arabic-speaking and Muslim communities, where the association is devotional rather than decorative, which we note with respect (said 'tar-TEEL').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. Very rare, devotional, and heritage-rich.

Did you know? Tarteel names a manner of reciting — slow, clear and unhurried — that the Quran itself prescribes for its own reading. As a name it carries that quiet reverence, which we note respectfully.
