Information about the Muslim names

Muslim names are common in countries with significant Muslim populations, including countries in the Middle East, Central Asia, northern Africa, and the Malay Archipelago in Southeast Asia. Since Arabic is the language of the Qur'an, most Muslim names are derived from Arabic. However, many languages do not use the original Arabic names but instead have modified versions that better fit the language. In addition, many people from predominantly Muslim countries take names indigenous to their own languages that are unrelated to Islam. Because of this, there is a great variety of names used by Muslims throughout the communities in which they live.
