If you’re familiar with Arabic, you may not be surprised to find that a lot of the baby names on this list have direct translations and meanings from the Quran. With that being said, these names have also been anglicized or modified to make them easier to spell, pronounce, or understand in English.
And yeah, it’s actually pretty cool that naming your child Akilah is not only a cute name to flex but also directly translates to “clever and bright.” And if the meanings and gorgeous names aren’t enough convincing for you, some popular celebs even have their names featured on this list (hint: one of them rhymes with Brianna…).
