Popular Modern Islamic Baby Names:
During the last
decade, the name of one particular baby boy has become extremely popular with
both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The name that many have chosen to give
their son has been 'Izzat Ibrahim', or Ibrahim the slave.
The name has a
multitude of different meanings. It can be translated into Arabic as
"slave of God", "the servant of God"servant of God".
The name is also given in some communities in an English translation, which
means simply, 'slave of God'.
According to a recent
census, there are one million people who identify themselves as Muslim, meaning
that this name will no doubt be around for some time to come. The Popular modern
Islamic baby names of Ibrahim the slave is a testament to his formative
years.
The name was borrowed
from Islam, and is a name related to Nashera or Nasara, a name derived from the
title "Nasrallah", or "Messenger of God". It is therefore a
name that is known across the world. Another interesting detail of the name is
that it was given to the first son of a Muslim family.
Ibrahim the slave is
not only famous for his name, but his life has been the subject of great
affection. When the son was born, the husband went out with the family to
search for his own daughter, and brought her back with him to the house.
She was named "Wasseh"Lazarus",
meaning that she was given a new lease on life. The name was then passed down
from generation to generation and is still used today by a son, who is
attempting to give his daughter a similar name. He is attempting to take away
any perception that slaves were branded with a stigma.
There is no
information that can be found about the mother of Lazarus, but a legend states
that Wasseh is not only the mother of Lazarus, but of one of the saints of the
Islamic faith. The woman, who has borne nine sons, is reputed to be one of
those saints, who was a teacher and nurse, in an early Islamic community.
Many scholars believe
that the name was being used to refer to Wasseh, and also for some other
significance. It is possible that Wasseh's older sister, 'Aishah, was the true
mother of Lazarus. However, there is no evidence to support the theory, and
Ibrahim the slave is very popular among Muslims.
