Muslim Baby names: Most names in the Muslim world
come from the Arabic language, although there is some borrowing
from Persian and Turkish (especially in Iran and Turkey). The
majority of the names are derived from vocabulary words.Islam
is of course a major influence on naming practices. The multiple
forms of Muhammad are extremely popular, as are the names of his
family and descendents, such as Omar, Ali, Bakr and Fatima. Military
leaders are often honored as well; for example Tariq and Amir.
The Koran is another source of names. Ibrahim and Mariam are two
examples of names from the Koran that have English biblical equivalents
