Information about the Arabic names

The influence of the Arabic culture and the Arabic language is linked closely with the spread of Islam from the Arabian Peninsula beginning in the 7th century as Arabic traders brought textiles, spices, and the Qur'an throughout the Old World. The language of the Qur'an is Classical Arabic, and in many countries in the Islamic world where Arabic is not widely spoken, including Indonesia, Turkey, Iran, and the countries of Central Asia, Arabic names are used extensively, sometimes even among non-Muslims.
