good, correct muslim names for a boy, they invariably correspond to the spiritual values of the Muslim world and take into account the cultural traditions of the local population.
It is noted that when choosing a name for their child, Muslim parents should focus not so much on the rarity or common use of the name, but on its meaning - the more noble and pure it is, the better.
“On the Day of Judgment, each of you will be called by your own name and the name of your father, so call your children worthy names” (Abu Dawud, “Adab”, 69).
It is noted that the most preferred muslim boy names containing a combination of the word « abd" - "slave" with one of the names of the Almighty.

What names should not be given to boys in a Muslim family:
- Do not name your sons after the leaders of the oppressors and the godless. Examples of inappropriate names: Iblis, Pharaoh, Karun, Shaitan, Haman, Abu Lahab.
- It is not recommended to call boys names that belong to the non-Muslim world.
A name containing the meaning of obedience to Allah, corresponding to the principles of Islam, having a good content, can be used without hesitation.
When and how to give a Muslim name to a boy
It is customary to give a name to a newborn before the evening from the moment of his birth. However, you can do this within 7 days from the moment of his birth, but no more.
The one who calls the boy should do the following: take the child in his arms, turn to the qibla, bend over and read the azan first into the right and then into the left ear of the child, while trying to disturb him as little as possible. Further reading salawat to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and with the name of Allah, his name is pronounced three times in the right ear of the child.

For the first Karachay girl, the name must be chosen by the grandmother, for the subsequent ones - by other worthy members of the family. The naming ceremony takes place during the first bedtime. At the same time, it is not customary to name relatives in honor - this tradition comes from ancient pagan rites, which themselves have long gone out of use.
The stress in Karachai names is always on the last syllable. An exception concerns some names that came from Russian nominal traditions. Some names may have variations in different dialects of the Karachay-Balkar language: Rabiyga (Rabiga) - Rabiygaat (Rabigat), Izhiu - Ishiu, etc.
Proper (Turkic) female names of Karachays
One of the most ancient and permanent sources of names in any nation is folklore. Among the Karachays, as well as among many other peoples of the Caucasus, this is primarily the Nart epic, from where, for example, the Karachai female name Satanay comes from.
Others that have survived to our time are ancient Karachay female names formed from nicknames that were widely used in the pagan period, for example, Bappush (duck), Tuyme (button), Gogush (turkey), etc. Later, such names were combined with epithets or refinements, for example Aizhayak (cheeks like the Moon), or Nyurkhan (shining), where the element “khan” indicates that the name is female.
Arabic female names of Karachays
Together with Islam North Caucasus Arab culture also came, which affected, including names. First of all, these are the names of women legendary for Muslims, for example, Amina, who gave birth to the last prophet, or Khadija, his first wife. They are adapted as Aminat and Khadijat. Many other borrowings from Arabic became popular Karachai female names - Salimat (peaceful), Tanzila (sent down from above), Khalimat (patient), Zubayda (cream - in the sense of white-skinned), etc.
Islam actively borrowed names from the Jews, and, in turn, distributed them among the peoples who believed in Allah and Muhammad. This is how such beautiful Karachay female names appeared as Mariam (Hebrew Miriam, Russian Maria) or Khaua (Hebrew Khava, Russian Eva).
The Persians also contributed a lot to Islamic traditions. For example, the female name Ferdaus, common among Karachais, means “paradise” in Farsi.
Christian female names among Karachais
Displaced by Islam christian names again began to restore their positions after the entry of the Caucasus into Russia. These are both actually Slavic (Lyusya - from Lyudmila, Lyuba - Love), and those who came from other cultures through Russian (Akulina - similar to an eagle, from Latin; Liza - Elizabeth - Elisheva, from Hebrew), etc. The name Paradise (Raisa) is perceived by a European as Greek (careless), but at the same time it can also have Arabic origin in the meaning of “boss”. At the same time, most of the names from the Russian name list are borrowed in a truncated form.
Below is a list of popular, as well as rare female names used among Karachays.
The formation of names in Kabardino-Balkaria has been going on since antiquity, as in many nations. Most of it is occupied by three main groups of naming:
- Original Kabardian names
- Arab, shaped by Islam
- Russian names
The first group consists of names formed on the basis of common nouns or numerals. It was also allowed to form complex names consisting of a combination of two words.. Arabic names that came around in the XIV-XV centuries should be compared with the development of the Islamic religion on the territory of the Republic.
Russian names came to Kabarbino-Balkaria as abbreviated or diminutive forms of familiar Russian names. An insignificant part is occupied by borrowed names from other languages: Persian, Egyptian, Iranian, Kazakh, etc.
How to choose for a boy?
The possibility of naming a boy in the family is given either to the oldest: grandmother, grandfather, elder uncle, aunt, or to the youngest in the family: cousins, sisters. Only relatives have the opportunity to name the baby paternal line boy.
On the day when the boy was given a name, the invited guests bring gifts. The person who named the boy is also presented with gifts.: a shirt, a towel and a piece of cooked food. On this day, the boy's relatives and invited guests celebrate this event at a large table with a lot of treats.
If the name given to the child is not Muslim, he is given a second one. In this case, parents can choose a name, but the naming ritual is again performed by an invited relative. He calls out the name of the baby three times in the ear and gives the boy a right hand slice of bread.
If the baby is a lot or seriously ill, a decision is made to change the name. Efendi (as a respected person, sages, elders are called), writes a prayer for a child, the mother sews it into a small leather bag and leaves it to the boy as a talisman.
List of handsome male Kabardian and Balkar variants
Before performing the rite of naming, the baby is given a name. Each of them has its own meaning and in its own way affects the fate of the child, therefore, the process of giving the name of the boy is approached with great responsibility. Many names are a thing of the past, but most of the names have survived to this day and the people of Kabardino-Balkaria carefully keep the history of each name and give children rare, old names that have been stored in the history of the people for thousands of years.

The name given to the boy largely determines his fate. That is why you first need to know the true meaning of each name before giving it to a newborn. In the Caucasus, they believe that a name can both protect a child from troubles and invite trouble. That is why the naming takes place in a festive atmosphere, and is chosen not just like that, but based on the history of the people and family.
A Balkarian baby is named at the first laying in the cradle. At the birth of the first child, the obligation to name the boy is assigned to the grandfathers, and the girl - to the grandmothers. Other people may be involved in the process of naming the next children. Karachay-Balkarian names are not given in honor of relatives, which comes from pagan customs, which themselves have not been observed for a long time.
Most of the Balkar names are identical to Karachay ones, but there are also dialect variants, for example, Gyurgyokka / Girokka (Gyurgok / Girgok), Khabizh / Khabich for men or Izhiu / Ishiu, Rabiyga / Rabiygat (Rabiga / Rabigat) for women. The stress in all the names of the Balkars is on the last syllable, with the exception of some borrowings from the Russian nominal tradition, for example, Lyuba.
Proper Balkar names
The most ancient nominal layer is nicknames associated with objects and natural phenomena. For example: Aslan (lion), Temir (iron), Dugum (Dugum - currant), Zhulduz (star). Already from such elements, multi-component names of the form Batyrbek (mighty prince), Zalimkhan (brave ruler), Mingsom (ming - thousand, som - money) were formed. One of the most frequently used images is the Moon (ay), especially in female names: Aysurat, Ayzhak (moon-like cheeks), etc.
One of the sources of old Balkar names is the Nart epic, which is common to many peoples of the Caucasus, but has differences in naming. From there came such popular names Balkars, like Sosruk (Sosruk) or Alaugan (Alaugan).
Arabic names
The most popular names in the Muslim world are those associated with the emergence of Islam, for example, Aminat (from Amin - the mother of the Prophet Muhammad) or Khadizhat (from Khadija - premature birth, the name of the first wife of the prophet). The name of Muhammad himself among the Balkars was transformed into two variants at once: Makhmut and Mukhammat. Other names associated with the foundations of Islam also spread: Abdul (servant of Allah), Mustafa (chosen one - an epithet of Muhammad), Muslim ( female version- Muslimat), Islam, etc.
Islam relies on Judaism, therefore, in the list of Balkar names, borrowings of Arabized Jewish names are inevitable, such as Issa (Yeshua / Jesus), Moussa (Moshe / Moses), Mariam, Khaua (Hava, the European version is Eva / Eva).
There are also names of Arabic origin that are not directly related to religion, for example: Anzor (the most caring), Leila (great, precious), Zuhra (the Arabic name for the planet Venus, literally radiant).
Christian names
Islam rather quickly replaced all names of Christian origin, and the resumption of their use is associated with the entry of Balkaria into the Russian Empire, especially this process intensified in the USSR. At the same time, most of the new Balkar names that came from Russian culture have an abbreviated form. Today, Kabardino-Balkarians use such male and female names of Christian origin as Gyurge (George), Akulina, Raya, Liza, Lusya, etc.
To get acquainted with popular and rare Balkar names, you must refer to the list published below.
