Origin: Arabic

Meaning: Dreams

With its meaning “dreams,” Ahlam is an Arabic name guaranteed to keep the nightmares away. Not only does it sound unique, but it’s got a whimsical touch to it as well. One of the moniker’s most famous bearers is Ahlam Mosteghanemi, the first Algerian woman to publish fiction in Arabic. Considered to be the foremost writer in the Arabic literary scene, she is frequently quoted by the public and is the recipient of multiple honors and awards. If that weren’t enough, all her works have also been made available in Braille by UNESCO. Her story, like the other Ahlams, reads like fiction, and if you too wish all baby’s dreams to come true, this is a fitting option indeed.
