About these names
- Christian. Mostly biblical, with the names of saints and the virtues that became names. Many are Hebrew or Greek in origin and reached English through Latin.
- Muslim. Mostly Arabic, including the names of prophets and companions, and the qualities parents wish for a child. Several are shared with the Hebrew bible.
- Names travel. Maryam and Mary are one name; so are Musa and Moses, Ibrahim and Abraham, Yusuf and Joseph. A name listed under one heading is not only used there, and plenty of families use a name for the sound of it rather than the tradition behind it.
- Meanings are the usual ones, not the only ones. A name that has travelled through three languages over two thousand years usually has more than one account of where it came from. Where scholars disagree, the common reading is given.
