Names That Mean Strength

A name is listed when its recorded meaning contains a word for “strength” in a usable position: not negated, and not about a namesake or a title.

Wording that matched, with the number of names: “strong” (137), “powerful” (45), “strength” (29), “mighty” (14), “stronger” (1), “strongest” (1), “sturdy” (1). The matched wording is quoted for every name.

224 of the 228 names come from the Muslim-names dataset (Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Turkish, Kurdish and related origins). Names from other traditions appear only where their recorded meaning fits the rule.

6 names matched by the rule were removed after manual review because the meaning uses the word about something other than strength.

Each row shows the meaning recorded for that name in our data. A name can have other meanings and other origins.
