If you’re looking for an elegant “A” name for your baby boy, consider Anas. The name Anas is of Arabic origin and is commonly used in Muslim cultures; it means “affectionate, loving, friendly" or “friendliness.” The name Anas also has historical significance, as it was the name of a companion of the Prophet Muhammad: Anas ibn Malik was known for his loyalty and service to the Prophet and is considered a role model for Muslims.
The popularity of the name Anas has varied over time and across different regions. In some Muslim-majority countries, such as Egypt and Sudan, the name is quite common. It is a relatively uncommon baby name choice in the United States, however, and does not appear on the Social Security Administration’s Top 1000 baby names list.
