Alternate Spellings

For parents seeking a noble identity for their baby boy, Ijlal offers deep spiritual resonance. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Honor', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Ijlal comes from the Arabic root j-l-l, the same root behind Ajlal and "Jalal" (majesty). It is translated as "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.
