عظمت
Azmat is a versatile and harmonious name suitable for both boys and girls. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Respect, honor', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.
While popular in Arabic regions, Azmat has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.
Azmat comes from the Arabic root '-z-m, the same root behind Al-Azim (The Magnificent). Unlike Azmi and Azzam, which come from a resolve/determination sense of a similarly spelled root, "azmat" carries the sense of "greatness" or "grandeur," translated as "respect" or "honour."

Hadith / Historical Connection
Choosing a name well is treated in the sunna as a duty owed to the child. Abu Dawud records the Prophet saying that on the Day of Resurrection you will be called by your names and by your fathers' names, so give yourselves good names. Names carrying a quality are chosen in that spirit.
