Appendix:Arabic given names

Maintenance notes
This list includes any Arabic name that is known to be used as a personal name in any cultural or religious tradition, not exclusively limited to ethnic Arabs nor to Islam. If the gender of the name is not listed, it is (as yet) of undetermined gender.

Format
For linguistic consistency, as long as a name has an attestable or logical Arabic form, then Standard Arabic form (if applicable) in Arabic, Arabic alphabet order is preferred in all cases, even if none of the people who use the name are active speakers of an Arabic language. If a name is of Maltese origin, the Maltese name may be included with Maltese spelling if it has an authentic Arabic-derived form.

Convention of list items
For clarity, the current convention for list items is:
 * , English Wikipedia link(s). "Definition." Gender. See also Related article.

Names of Hebrew or Biblical origin are marked as "Arabic form of ..." if the exact form is used both in Islam and by Arab Christians. If the Qur'anic form is found in another form than in the Arabic Bible (e.g. of the Bible as against  of the Qur'an), it is marked as "Islamic form of ...".

Adding names
Please expand and/or correct this list if you can. If a name does not exist in this list and you do not know all the details of the name, you can add it in an incomplete form, and other editors can review the name and expand and/or correct the name with the details they know. If you do not know the alphabetical order of a name, place the name at the bottom of the list; please do not use English alphabetical order, as it will clutter the list.

Arabic names in other languages
If a name of ultimate Arabic origin exists in another language but has in some way been modified to reflect circumstances such as a different gender, "pet form", diminutive ("little") state, or hypocoristic (shortened/nickname) state, etc., then the name probably does not belong in this list. In most of these cases, the name has become inseparably integrated with the grammar of the host language and no longer has a distinct Arabic counterpart. If there are name lists on Wikipedia for the host language, then such a name probably belongs in that particular list.
