Aaliya is another popular Arabic name in the US too. Personally, I wouldn't go too global when naming my children, I'm proud of my Arabic heritage, and would love to pass it on.. - Coco Mon, 16 Mar 2009 00:05:28 +0100 http://www.babyhold.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=210&Itemid=14#pc_21920 Yes, Arabs do name their children Sofi (Safia, just like Sofia, is an arab name meaning pure) and Aiden (Ayden meaning intelligent or brilliant). Because, those are my children's names. Almost every name has a translation in another language, and most American and British names are based off of other languages such as Arabic. - Tharra Thu, 01 May 2008 15:04:19 +0100 http://www.babyhold.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=210&Itemid=14#pc_19156 Ok first of all "American" is the combination of every nationality that migrated here...belonged to the Native Americans if you know your history. So there is no such thing as a purely American name and FYI, yes in fact people in Arab nations do name their children American names such as, Nancy, Adam, Tony, Abraham..and by the way almost every Biblical name in "English" has an arabic equivalent. My son's name is Noah...Nuh in arabic. My name is Muna...Mona in the Irish and English language. - Muna Fri, 07 Mar 2008 21:19:08 +0100 http://www.babyhold.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=210&Itemid=14#pc_14936 My name is Jonathan. My question is why would you call an American or British baby an Arab name? Do people in Arab nations call their kids Sophie, Aidan or Charles? Aren't we getting to global? - Jonathan Sun, 17 Feb 2008 09:28:45 +0100
