"On the day of Qayamat you will be called by your names and the names of your fathers. Therefore, keep good names." --The Prophet The Complete Book of Muslim and Parsi Names is a practical guide for choosing the perfect name for your child. The result of several years of research, it is an erudite and thorough compilation of approximately 30,000 names taken from ten languages. With the actual and construed meanings and the history or mythology associated with the name given against each entry, this is a precise and invaluable sourcebook for scholars and lay readers alike.
