If you are expecting a little girl, click right here.
For ages Morocco had a list of authorized names for boys and parents were not allowd to choose a name for their boy out of this list. Following various complaints from citizens about the authorities’ refusal of certain first names, the Moroccan High Commission for Civil Status issued a call to order, and children will finally be able to be named according to their parents’ free choice. Even if this list of authorized moroccan masculine names is no longer applicable we find it interesting to share it as the most traditional moroccan names for girls are part of it.

As we tell you, Morocco allows now more than these names but there are still some rules related to femenine moroccan names. In particular, it is strictly forbidden to call oneself as God. Also “The criteria of choice must avoid non-Moroccan first names, or names composed of or inspired by names of cities, villages or tribes. The first name must not, moreover, undermine public order and morals.”

Meaning of some moroccan given names for boys
The Arab world abounds in names that are more exotic than tasty to pronounce. But beware of you, innocent future parents, because behind each name is hidden a literal translation that will play tricks on your toddler’s mektoub.
Choosing a name according to its meaning is a concept that encompasses all cultures, from the Incas to the Japanese, but seems to be neglected by other cultures specially in developped countries. Let´s take a look to the meaning of some moroccan masculine names:
1- Ali: means “superior, sublime” in Arabic. Little boys with the first name Ali are very emotional, even if they try to hide it behind a strong and virile appearance. Anyway, these little boys never do things by halves! Despite the fact that they love their independence and freedom, they have a great need for affection and appreciate working together.
Famous personalities named Ali: Ali ibn Abi Talib, son of Âbu Talib and cousin of the Prophet Muhammad.
2-Adam: is a male name of Hebrew origin, means “made of red earth” in Hebrew. Little boys with the first name Adam are ambitious beings with a certain authoritarianism. As intrepid as they are impatient, one thing is sure, they have energy to spare!
Famous personalities named Adam: the German sculptor Adam Krafft (1450-1509); the great Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855); the economist Adam Smith.
3- Ibrahim: means “father of nations” in Hebrew. Little boys with the first name Ibrahim have a discreet and mysterious charm. They like to be worshipped and to lead. Very ambitious, they are slightly self-centered.
Famous personalities named Ibrahim: the Franco-Lebanese musician Ibrahim Maalouf.
4- Usman: this Moroccan first name for boy is a variant of the transcription of Othman. Little boys with the first name Usman are endowed with extraordinary dynamism and impulsiveness! Very curious, they have a taste for risk and feel the need to live new adventures.
Famous personalities named Usman: the writer Usman Dan Fodio.
5- Yousef means “God will add” in Hebrew. Little boys with the first name Yousef are eminently sociable beings, constantly seeking contact with others. Sensitive and tolerant, they have a pronounced taste for aesthetics and comfort.
