100+ Best Arabic Girl Names And Their Meanings (With Audio) (2024)

There are many options when choosing an Arabic name for a girl.

In most cases, people pick rather sonorous names; names that sound unique, cool, royal, or nostalgic.

Interestingly, while the majority of Western names have started to lose touch with their etymological roots, Arabic names remain so attached to their semantic backgrounds that one could mistake them for normal adjectives.

In fact, most Arabic names are adjectives.

Arabic girl names tend to lean the most towards the category of traditional femininity.

They refer to beauty, royalty, honor, honesty, modesty, and religious faithfulness.

Today I’ll share some of the best and most popular Arabic names for girls.

As you go through this selection, here are a few things to consider:

  • Not all names are Islamic: in fact, many names have Christian or Hebrew origins.
  • Some names are pronounced differently in North African and the Middle Eastern Arabic dialects (different stress).
  • Some names are more prevalent than others in certain regions of the Arab world.
  • Names that rhyme as AA-EE-AA as in: Bahija, Saida, Dalila, Naziha, etc. are not as common as they used to be a decade ago.

Arabic names take you on a bit of a linguistic and historical trip because every name has its own story.

Hopefully you’ll look at your Arab friend and see them in a way that fits their name, or an otherwise ironic contradiction between their behavior and the meaning of their name. 😊

Arabic girl names in alphabetical order

The names listed here are by no means exhaustive. There are plenty more I could have listed.

On left side, you’ll see how the name is generally written in English and right next to it, you can see and hear how it’s pronounced.

The original Arabic is included along with its meaning.

NOTE: Names can have alternative spellings in English and sometimes even Arabic (e.g. you might see some names written with a ‘taa marbuta’ or ‘aleph’ ending). It doesn’t change the pronunciation of the name.
