Names used in Arabic

Arabic language names have historically been based on a long naming system. Many people from the Arabic speaking and also non Arab Muslim countries have not had given/middle/family names but rather a chain of names. This system remains in use throughout the Arabic and Muslim worlds.

A common name form among Arab Muslims is the prefix [[Abd (Arabic) ("Worshipper", fem. (feminine) Amah) combined with the word for God (Allah), Abdullah (عبد الله "Worshipper of God"), or with one of the epithets of God. As a mark of deference, ʿAbd is usually not conjoined with the prophet's names. Nonetheless, such names are accepted in some areas. Its use is not exclusive to Muslims and throughout all Arab countries, the name Abdel Massih, "Servant of Christ", is a common Christian last name. Converts to Islam may often continue using the native non Arabic non Islamic names that are without any polytheistic connotation, or association.

Conventionally, in Arab culture, as in many parts of the world, a person's ancestry and family name are very important. An example is explained below. Assume a man is called Saleh ibn Tariq ibn Khalid al Fulan. Saleh is his personal name, and the one that his family and friends would call him by. ibn and bin translates as "son of", so Tariq is Saleh's father's name. ibn Khalid means that Tariq is the son of Khalid, making Khalid the grandfather of Saleh. al Fulan would be Saleh's family name. Hence, Saleh ibn Tariq ibn Khalid al Fulan translates as "Saleh, son of Tariq, son of Khalid; who is of the family of al Fulan." The Arabic for "daughter of" is bint. A woman with the name Fatimah bint Tariq ibn Khalid al Rashid translates as "Fatimah, daughter of Tariq, son of Khalid; who is of the family al Rashid." In this case, ibn and bint are included in the official naming. Most Arab countries today, however, do not use 'ibn' and 'bint' in their naming system. If Saleh were an Egyptian, he would be called Saleh Tariq Khalid al Fulan and Fatimah would be Fatimah Tariq Khalid al Rashid. If Saleh marries a wife (who would keep her own maiden, family, and surnames), their children will take Saleh's family name. Therefore, their son Mohammed would be called Mohammed ibn Saleh ibn Tariq al Fulan. However, not all Arab countries use the name in its full length, but conventionally use two and three word names, and sometimes four word names in official or legal matters. Thus the first name is the personal name, the middle name is the father's name and the last name is the father's family name.

The Arabic names listed below are used in the Arab world with correspondent Hebrew, English, Syriac and Greek equivalents in many cases. Most are derived from Syriac transliterations of the Hebrew Bible.

The popular romanization of the Arabized and Hebrew names are written first, then the standardized romanization are written in oblique. Arabized names may have variants. If a literal Arabic translation of a name exists, it will be placed after the final standardized romanization. If an Arabic correlation is ambiguous, (?) will be placed following the name in question. * Yasu' is the Arab Christian name, while ʿĪsā is the Muslim version of the name, as used in the Qur'an. There is debate as to which is the better rendition of the Aramaic Ishuʿ, because both names are of late origin. ** Yuhanna is the Arab Christian name of John, while Yahya is the Muslim version of the name, as used in the Qur'an. They have completely different triconsonantal roots: Ḥ N N ("grace") vs Ḥ Y Y ("Life"). Specifically, Youhanna may be the Biblical John the Baptist or the apostle. Yahya refers specifically to John the Baptist. El, the Hebrew word for strength/might or deity, is usually represented as īl in Arabic, although it carries no meaning in classical and modern Arabic. The only exception is its usage in the Iraqi Arabic.

According to the Chicago Manual of Style, Arabic names are indexed by their surnames. Names may be alphabetized under Abu, Abd and ibn, while names are not alphabetized under al and el and are instead alphabetized under the following element.
