Luqman

Luqman is an Arabic name especially known through the figure of Luqman in the Quran. Its literal linguistic meaning is uncertain, but wisdom is central to its religious association. The Quran describes Luqman as having been granted wisdom and includes the advice he gives his son, making the name closely connected with thoughtful guidance and gratitude.

A chapter of the Quran bears his name, which has helped preserve it across generations and across Muslim communities using different languages. Lukman is another common way of writing the name in Latin letters. For parents, the strongest story behind Luqman is therefore the wise counselor and father, rather than a claim that the name itself literally translates as wise.
