About this app

Ismi is a calm, beautiful way to choose your baby's name — built for Muslim parents who want a meaning they can trust.

Swipe through 1,826 carefully curated Islamic and Arabic names. Every card shows the Arabic script, an easy transliteration, the meaning, and where that meaning actually comes from.

A NAME'S MEANING IS YOUR CHILD'S FIRST DUA

So it had better be true. 565 names in Ismi carry a real Quran citation — chapter and verse — checked against the Quranic Arabic Corpus rather than simply asserted. Meanings are either written by hand or taken from a published dictionary entry for the Arabic word the name is built from. Nothing is invented.

CHOOSE TOGETHER
