With its Quranic roots, Noor is a unique unisex choice carrying profound meaning. The literal meaning, 'Light', evokes imagery of nature and radiance, suggesting a personality full of life and positivity.

Pronounced as Noor, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Noor, like the alternate spelling Nur, comes from the Arabic root n-w-r, meaning β€œlight.” Surah An-Nur (24) is named for this concept of divine light.
