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

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

Khunais comes from the Arabic root kh-n-s, meaning “to retreat” or withdraw from view. The Quran (81:15) swears by “al-khunnas,” the retreating [celestial bodies]. It is translated here as “hidden.”
