English sounding Muslim Girls Names???? Plz help :-)

[yasmin85]

Please share some english sounding muslim names. We would like something that is easily pronounced but is still muslim or arabic origin. Many thanks.

My list are not necessarily English sounding, but ones I have no problem with pronouncing currently

Afia is a lovely name.

I like Eshaal too.

what do you ladies think of Amara, or Aiza? I quite like names starting with 'A'

Those are both beautiful yasmin.

yasmin85 - Amara's lovely but I'm not sure how to pronounce Aiza. I'm guessing it is something like EYE-za?

yes, it would be eye-za, maybe Ayza or Aizah spelling helps. not sure though, Eshaal and Amara are also very pretty.

I love A names too for some reason! I think Amara and Aiza are both lovely names. Have fun choosing!

Sufia, Leila, Zara, Sareena, Robina, Nadia, Maia, Maryam have muslim friends/ colleagues with these lovely names

This is making me wish I'd had another girl!

Love Ayisha, leila, Yasmin, Sharifa, Kenza, Latifa, Noor and Fulah.

Saira is gorgeous.

I teach an Aiza - pronounced eye-z-uh
I do sometimes mix it up with Aysha though which is pronounced Eye-sh-uh

Look, I'm not a Muslim, but English-sounding Muslim names? That easy, considering that Islam the religion considers its origins to be founded in the same history as Christianity. Plenty of ancient Hebrew names would therefore suffice. Examples (pulled up from Abraham's family tree):

Sarah
Rebecca
Rachel

and of course
Mary plus variants (I think Miriam is one of them)

I think you will find that many "Muslim" names therefore have a Hebrew root or Hebrew version (Hebrew, like Arabic is a Semetic language after all). From there it should be quite simple to find the modern English spelling.

I love the name Sana, I have a muslim friend with that name and I think its beautiful

Safeeyah

what do you ladies think of Zoya???

Ishbell
Zara
Amber
Ali
Maisa (not to different from the english Maisy)

would 'Sana' be pronounced ok in the UK? It's short and sweet.

Lots of these names aren't actually Muslim names. Is that important, or do you want a crossover name.

Dd is Maryam Amber and I only get compliments

Sophia was our next choice

If we have another dd I think we will go for Zara

Hana
Sana
Zara
Sofia
Sophia

I don't like Sana, it was the name of a shop I used for cheap clothes when we were in the ME.
I do love Safia - could have been DDs name but someone else bagged it.
Sofia is OK, Zara is OK, Laila is nice although there is one at DDs current RC school so could be getting popular.

I know an Aamana, which is very pretty.

I knew 2 Muslim girls, each one with a beautiful name and charming personality to boot. The names were:

Safiyyah (sounds like Sophia)

Miah (sounds identical to Mia)

Now, Sophia is a Greek name and Mia is Italian, but both very popular ^in Britain.

HTH!

I think the name Sana is beautiful
