Unicultural Names (male)

Nosherwan · June 20, 2009, 5:27pm

Salaam,

Can you guys plz help me find names that are both Pakistani and British?

So far I’ve only got Adam and Harris.

I know there’s names like Davud/David or Yusuf/Joseph but they are spelt differently in both languages.

I want names that can be spelt the same.

Cheerz guys.

Re: Unicultural Names (male)

u can westernize eastern names (ie., "Billy" for Bilal, Jerry for Jeremiah etc)

Personally I'm partial to Jeremiah and wish my husband had agreed on this name for one of the boyz.

I think also Daniel and Moses are multi cultural and nice names.

Really tho....Islaam says that a name is good as long as it has a good/nice meaning.

How about Daniyal **or **Danial. It's a British name and it's also a Muslim name. Muslims pronounce it as (Daniyaal) with a long "a" sound. BUT it would still be spelled the same in BOTH languages which is what you wanted.

Other suggestions for names that are spelled the same in both languages that I've found from a Muslim baby names website include:

1) Basil (this can be a Muslim name as well as a western/British name. It means brave according to the website. And in English, one would take it to refer to basil, the herb. I think it kinda sounds feminine/fruity for a boy).

2) Dean (Typically spelled "Din" or "Deen", this name means religion. But spelling it as "Dean", you'll make it applicable to British culture as well)

3) Faris (Means knight/horseman/rider. Similar to the Western name "Ferris Bueler")

4) Malik. (Spelled the same in Western culture commonly among the Black population who pronounces it as "Maleek.")

5) Omar. (Spelled the same in Western culture commonly among the Black population who pronounces it as "Omaar".)

6) Zakariya
