Maria bint Sham’ûn, also known as Maria al-Qibtiyya, was one of the slaves the Egyptian Coptic had gifted to prophet Muhammad.
Lubaynah, or Lubena, is an endearing name, meaning ‘pure milk’ or just ‘purity’. She converted to Islam soon after being freed, along with her friend, Zaneerah. Lubaynah, a companion of Prophet Muhammad, was originally one of the slaves freed by Abu Bakr. Lubaba bint al-Harith, also known Umm Fadl, was a prominent early Muslim woman and the second woman to convert to Islam. Layla is a stylish and musical name, meaning ‘night’. She was an extremely beautiful woman and was pursued by many men, but she rejected advances of all of them. Layla bint al-Minhal, later known as Umm Tamim, was the daughter of Al Minhal and the wife of Malik ibn Nuwayra. The meaning of Kulthum is ‘someone with a chubby face’. Kulthum is also the name of Prophet Muhammad’s daughter, which gives you another reason to bestow this name on your daughter. Kulthum, daughter of Ahmad bin Ali al-Asiwatiyah, was one of the first women to memorize the Quran. Zihar was a form of divorce in the pre-Islamic times, and Khawlah was divorced by her husband by this method. Khawlah bint Tha’labah, a female companion of Muhammad, is mentioned in Quran in reference to Zihar. The two Sahabiyats with this name were Khairah bint Ab Hadrad and Khairah, the wife of Ka`b bin Malik al-Ansari. Khairah is our another favorite female Sahabi name, and it means ‘good, welfare, happiness and safe’. Our list would be incomplete without mentioning Khadija bint Khuwaylid, the first wife of Prophet Muhammad and the most prominent female Sahabah. Kareemah bint Abi Hadrad and Kareemah bint Kulthum are the Sahabiyats associated with this name. Kareemah is the feminine version of Kareem and means ‘gracious and well-born’. The name Juwayriyya has two meanings: ‘young woman’ or ‘damask rose’. Juwayriyya bint al-Harith, was one of the wives of Prophet Muhamad. A beautiful name with a classic feel, Jumanah means ‘silver pearl’.
Jumanah bint Abi Talib, was Abu Talib ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib’s daughter and the first cousin of prophet Muhammad. There was one Sahabiyat with this name, Jumail bint Yasaar. Both the names sound royal and are also uncommon, as Muslim baby girl names with the letter ‘J’ are rare. Jumail, meaning ‘nightingale’ would make a lovely alternative to Jamila. Jamila is a soft and appealing Arabic name, meaning ‘beautiful’. Jamila bint Thabit, the wife of Umar and daughter of Thabit ibn Abi al-Aflah and Al-Shamus bint Abi Amir, was also one of the converts to Islam in Medina.
