Nur

Nur is an Arabic name derived from the root n-w-r, meaning light or radiance, and it appears in the Quran as a divine attribute of God. It has been widely used across the Arabic-speaking world, as well as in Turkish, Persian, Urdu, and other Muslim-influenced cultures, often given to both boys and girls. The name appears in compound forms such as Nureddin and Nuray, and is closely related to the feminine form Nura as well as the Hebrew name Nir, which shares a conceptual though not etymological connection with illumination.
