Many Arabic names have been super popular all over the world for many years. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that names like Layla and Aaliyah are both Arabic names!
Something that I love about Arabic girl names is their similarity to Persian girl names. They use a lot of the letters that I don’t see as often in other names, such as y and z. I really wish I had picked baby names that used these letters, because they just up the cool factor and make them really unique.
Some of my all-time favorite names are Arabic names, so it’s only fitting to write an entire post with my favorite Arabic girl names! And, if you’re looking the perfect, modern Arabic boy name – go here.
