Graceful and timeless, the name Iclal is a beautiful choice for a baby girl. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Honor; Glory', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Iclal comes from the Arabic root j-l-l, the same root behind Jalal, meaning "honoring" or exalting.
