NameMeaningVault is a reference site for Muslim and Hindu baby names. It is written for parents in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and the diaspora who want to know what a name really means, in English and in Urdu or Hindi, before they choose it.
What you'll find here
- 5245 names, each on its own page, with English meaning, Urdu spelling in Nastaliq, Urdu meaning, pronunciation and origin.
- History, only where it's real. If a name belonged to a prophet, a companion (Sahabi) or a well-known historical figure, we say who. When the Quran mentions a name or word, we give the surah and verse.
- Transparent numerology. Many families ask for a name's "lucky number". We work it out with the traditional Abjad system and show every step. We do not make up lucky stones, colours or personality readings.
Who runs this site
NameMeaningVault is an independent publisher based in Pakistan. We are not affiliated with any religious organisation. For questions about naming and Islamic rulings, please ask a qualified scholar.
