Abbas

Abbas is a masculine name of Arabic origin, meaning “lion,” and is a popular choice if you plan on introducing baby to your faith. This name is most notably shared with the uncle of the founder of Islam, Muhammad. Abbas is also thought to mean “stern” or “austere” in Arabic, or “father” in Aramaic—and some other Semitic languages—from the word Abba. Choosing Abbas for your little one will be sure to encourage a close connection between baby and their faith.
