With its Arabic roots, Alif is a unique unisex choice carrying profound meaning. The name holds the profound meaning of 'First letter; Friendly', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

Pronounced as Alif, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Alif is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet, and one of the β€œmuqatta'at,” the mysterious disjointed letters that open several surahs of the Quran, such as Alif-Lam-Mim (2:1).
