The name Balad is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'City; Country', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Balad has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Balad is the Arabic word for “town” or land, and gives its name to Surah Al-Balad (90), which opens by swearing an oath by “this city” (Mecca).
