Write my name in Arabic
Type it in Latin letters and the studio offers the Arabic spelling, then sets it in a classical script. Free, no account. Start here, or pick your name from 511 already written.
Three steps
- Type the name. Type it in Latin letters in the Studio; it offers the Arabic letters for it.
- Choose the spelling. Where two Arabic spellings are both defensible, pick the one your family uses.
- Choose the script. Naskh, Thuluth, Diwani, Ruqʿah, Kufic, Nastaliq or Maghribi — each reads differently. Switch between them and keep the one that suits the name.

Why there is more than one correct spelling
Arabic writes short vowels only as optional marks, and it has sounds Latin does not — and the reverse. So a Latin name rarely has one Arabic spelling; it has a best few, and which is right depends on how your family says it and how they have always written it.
- Noor / Nour / Nur is one Arabic word, «نور», spelled three ways in Latin — not three names.
- P has no Arabic letter. Persian and Urdu add one (پ); Arabic substitutes ب. "Peter" becomes بيتر, and both choices are defensible.
- Long vowels are letters, short vowels are marks. "Sara" can be سارة or سارا depending on the ending your family uses — neither is a mistake.
We show you the spelling before anything is made, and you choose. On a personalised piece the spelling is confirmed with you and cannot be returned once it is made, so this step is not a formality.
Quick answers
Is there one correct Arabic spelling of my name?
Rarely. Arabic writes short vowels only as optional marks, and it has sounds Latin does not — and the reverse — so a Latin name has a best few spellings, and the right one is the one your family uses.
How is the letter P written in Arabic?
Arabic has no letter for P. Persian and Urdu add one (پ); Arabic writes ب, so "Peter" becomes بيتر.
How does "Sara" end in Arabic?
Two endings are used, سارة and سارا, and the family decides. Neither is a mistake.
Can I change the spelling after ordering?
Before printing, yes: on a personalised piece the spelling is confirmed with you first. Once it is made it cannot be returned, because it carries your name.
