Nour

Nour is an Arabic name derived from the root n-w-r, meaning light or radiance, and it appears in classical Arabic poetry and religious texts as a symbol of divine illumination. The name is used across the Arab world and wider Muslim communities for both males and females, though in many regions it skews feminine. It gained broader international recognition partly through Noor bint Ali, the American-born Queen consort of Jordan. Related forms include Nur, Noura, Nura, and the compound name Nour El Din.
