Guyanese Muslim names derive from the three most dominant cultures that have impacted heavily on the Islamic civilization: Arabic, Persian (Iran) and Turkic. The fact that Guyanese Muslims have roots in some of these civilization explain this connection.
The fact that the Arabs, the Afghans, the Persians and the Turks assimilated in Hindustan (India), contributed to the make up of Islamic names in that country. Some often refer to these names as Urdu, but what are Urdu names? There are no such things as Urdu names. Urdu names come from three languages Arabic, Persian and Turkic. Hence, Guyanese Muslims whose forefathers migrated from Hindustan to Guyana, have Muslim names from the Arabic, Persian and Turkic languages that are part of the Urdu language.
The coming together of these three cultures brought Islamic civilization to its zenith during the golden age or the Abbasid period. It is impossible to compile all the names that exist in Arabic, Persian and Turkish, but this list includes the most popular Muslim names in Guyana.
During the Mughal era in Hindustan the emperors had the suffix Uddin attached to their names, and it was a popular trend in South Asia. For example names such as Zahiruddin, Kamaluddin, Nasseruddin, or Shahabuddin were common. Many girls were given the title Bibi. Bibi is Persian for lady and in Guyana it was a popular trend. So it's not strange to find many girls in Guyana with the name Bibi Khatija, Bibi Haniffa, Bibi Rashida, etch. Also a common trend of adding UN (suffix) to names to give it female connotation was common. This is a tradition that came from the Uttar Pardeshi Muslims who migrated to Guyana. Wazirun, Ameerun, Radhidun, Nazirun, etch were common names during the early history of Guyanese Muslims. Common among Guyanese girls are names such as Nazmoon, Azimoon, Naimoon, Zaimoon etch. The origin and meaning of these names are unknown to me. These names definitely seem to be Persian in origins but over time may have become corrupted.
I could not trace the origin or the meanings of a few Guyanese Muslim names. Thus, you can contact me if you would like to contribute to this list. Names followed by the symbol (T) means that it is of Turkish origin; (P) means of Persian/Iranian origin and the rest are of Arabic origin. irls Meaning Girls Meaning
