Baha'i naming traditions
The Baha'i Faith has no required naming ceremony, so families choose freely, and many children have names from their own culture. Names of central figures and early believers, such as Tahirih, Bahiyyih, Quddus and Varqa, remain popular, and some families pick names of spiritual qualities from the Baha'i writings.
