How we write the meanings
- Checked, not copied: each meaning is checked against how the word is used in Arabic, Persian and Urdu. Names whose meaning we could not confirm are not published until they are checked.
- Quran references only when exact: we mention a verse only when the word itself appears there, and we say when a name is not in the Quran.
- One name, several spellings: Urdu names are written many ways in English (Ayesha, Aisha). Each page lists the common spellings.
