What names are mentioned in the Quran?
The Quran mentions 25 Prophets by name: Muhammad, Ibrahim, Musa, Isa, Nuh, Yusuf, Dawud, Sulaiman, Ismail, Ishaq, Yaqub, Harun, Zakariyya, Yahya, Ayyub, Yunus, Hud, Salih, Shuaib, Lut, Idris, Dhul-Kifl, Ilyas, Al-Yasa, and Adam (peace be upon them all). Maryam (Mary) is the only woman mentioned by name, and she is referenced 34 times across the Quran. Luqman, a wise man, also has a surah (Surah 31) named after him.
Is it recommended to give Quranic names?
The Prophet Muhammad ﻟ said: “Name yourselves with the names of the Prophets” (Abu Dawud 4950). Naming a child after a Prophet or with a word from the Quran connects them to the sacred text. Many parents choose Quranic vocabulary words like Noor (light, from Surah An-Nur 24:35), Iman (faith), Taqwa (God-consciousness), Rahma (mercy), and Huda (guidance) as names for their children.
