If you are looking for a strong and significant name for your son, Safwan is a standout choice. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Rock, bright, pure', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Safwan comes from the same Arabic root s-f-w as Safa and Mustafa, meaning “to be pure” or “clear.” The Quran (2:264) uses “safwan” for a smooth rock in a parable about charity done for show.
