What name to choose for your son or daughter?

When we have a child, one of the funniest (and at the time controversial) issues that arise around him / her is choosing the name. Sometimes disputes are generated with the couple, with the family... because each one wants a different name (and the reasons for her have!).

On the other hand, we don't know if the fact that there are so many names to choose from makes things worse or easier. Be that as it may, we end up choosing the name based on how much we like how it sounds, if we imagine saying this name all our lives, what person (s) it reminds us of, etc.

Many times we choose names from a more distant origin, and it is a reality that in other cultures, countries and even continents, names can be very different and at the same time very originals.

One of these origins is a country in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, where we find a multitude of Arabic names for your son. As we anticipated, in this article we propose up to 70 of them (both female and male), just to their original meaning. As we will see, many of them have more than one meaning..
