Looking for boy names instead? Muslim Boy Names →
Naming a daughter in a Muslim family is rarely a casual decision — it is a small act of hope, a word you will say thousands of times and want to mean something every single time. Parents looking for Muslim girl names are usually weighing beauty and meaning together, and the classical Arabic vocabulary makes that easy. Najma is the Arabic word for star. Zeina comes from the root behind beauty and adornment. Salima shares its root with peace and wholeness, and Jalilah carries the sense of greatness and high esteem — a name with real dignity built into it.
Alongside those are the names families choose for the women behind them, and the newer, lighter ones rising fast among young parents. Fatema is a widely used form of Fatimah, the name of the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, and it has been given with love across generations. Mariyah echoes Maryam, honored throughout Islamic tradition. Then there is the modern wave, softer and more melodic: Sanaa, Soha, Irha, Raneem and Zunairah, names you hear more each year in American masjids and school rosters alike.
Every name below opens to its full page — a sourced meaning, its Arabic or Urdu roots where we can trace them, its U.S. popularity, and a clear audio pronunciation so you can hear it before you fall for it.
