Meaning and Arabic spelling are sourced from the Muslim Names Dataset or, where provided, the record-specific provenance URL. Origin labels are source-stated where available or transparently inferred from the published script or etymological signal. Phonetic respellings are generated reading guides, not native-speaker recordings. See Sources & methodology for data limitations.
