Arabic Baby Names

Yusuf, Layla, Noor. Beautiful here, beautiful everywhere.

These are some Arabic names we've been saving. If you want a name that belongs in the UAE and still sounds like itself elsewhere, this guide might help.

We chose names that feel gentle in a child's mouth and dignified on an adult's passport.
