Write your name in Arabic calligraphy
Type a name in English or Arabic letters and it appears in 12 calligraphy styles at once, from Ruqaa and Naskh to Kufi and Nastaliq, with the letters joined correctly. Pick one, frame it and download it as PNG, SVG or PDF.
Drawn in your browser — nothing is uploaded. While you stay on this page, downloading the same design again in another size or format is free.
Joined the way Arabic is written
Letters are shaped by HarfBuzz, the engine browsers use, so every name joins correctly — in a straight line, an arc or a circle.
Twelve hands, side by side
Ruqaa, Naskh, Nastaliq and Kufi, plus eight modern Arabic display styles, each showing your own name before you choose.
Files for print, screen and cutting
PNG up to 4000 px, an SVG of pure outlines for Illustrator, Canva or a laser cutter, and an A4 PDF at 300 dpi.
About Arabic Calligraphy Name Generator
Confileo's Arabic Calligraphy Name Generator tool writes a name or short phrase in 12 real Arabic calligraphy fonts — Ruqaa, Naskh, Nastaliq, Fatimid Kufi and eight modern display styles — suggests its Arabic spelling when you type in English letters, and exports the design as PNG, SVG or a print-ready PDF. It is drawn in your browser without uploading a file, and a guest can start without signing up.
A name in Arabic calligraphy is usually wanted for something specific: a print for a new baby's room, a nikah invitation or wedding favours, an Eid gift, an engraved pendant, a logo for a small shop, or a tattoo that has to be right the first time. Many of the people asking don't read Arabic, so the tool starts from English letters: type the name, pick an Arabic spelling from the suggestions, and all twelve styles redraw as you type. If you read Arabic, type it directly. Up to 40 characters fit, enough for a full name or a short phrase.
Arabic is a joined script. Most letters change shape at the start, middle and end of a word, and a name reads correctly only when those shapes connect; many name generators get this wrong and print separate letters, sometimes in reverse order. Here every style is shaped by HarfBuzz, the text-shaping engine that browsers and Android also use, so the letters join the way an Arabic reader expects. An elongation slider, from 0 to 3, then stretches the joins with kashida (tatweel), the way a calligrapher lengthens a word to fill a line or balance a composition.
The twelve styles are real fonts, not filters. Ruqaa (Aref Ruqaa) is the compact everyday handwriting of much of the Arab world; Naskh (Amiri, with a bold weight) is the clear hand of printed books and Qur'ans; Nastaliq (Gulzar) is the sloping Persian style; Fatimid Kufi (Reem Kufi) is angular and geometric. The other eight, Katibeh, Rakkas, Lalezar, Blaka, Vibes, Marhey, Jomhuria and Badeen, are modern Arabic display faces for logos, posters and social media. Diwani and Thuluth are not offered yet, and nothing here imitates them; Ruqaa and Naskh are the closest classical hands.
Five layouts shape the design: a straight line; an arc; a circle, with the name along the top and an optional second text along the bottom; a mirror, where the name meets its own reflection in the middle as in Ottoman mirror calligraphy; and two stacked lines. A second line underneath can carry the name in English letters, a date or a short phrase. The frame can be a cartouche, a mihrab arch, a scalloped medallion, an eight-point star or a decorative border, or nothing at all. The ink comes in black, navy, burgundy, emerald, white, any custom colour or a gold gradient, over a transparent, paper, parchment, night-blue, emerald-green or marble background.
Each file has a job. The transparent PNG, at 1000, 2000 or 4000 px, sits on top of a photo, an invitation or a Canva design; the 1080×1080 square makes a profile picture or an Instagram post, and the 1080×1920 portrait a phone wallpaper or a story. The SVG has its letters converted to outlines, so a designer can open it in Illustrator, Inkscape or Canva without the font and scale it to any size. The cutting SVG is one colour and outlines only, for a laser engraver, a Cricut or vinyl cutter, a CNC machine or embroidery digitising. The A4 PDF prints at 300 dpi, ready to frame.
Two cautions before you download. A name from another language can have several correct Arabic spellings, and a letter-by-letter suggestion cannot know how you pronounce yours, so have someone who reads Arabic check it before a tattoo or an engraving. And the automatic vowel marks are the only step that leaves your browser: the name goes to Confileo's server, is vocalised by the Arabic Tashkeel model and is not stored. Previewing is free and needs no account; the first download of a design uses credits, like the site's other tools, and while you stay on the page, the same design in another size or format uses no more.

Arabic Calligraphy Name Generator — Frequently asked questions
How do I write my name in Arabic calligraphy if I can't read Arabic?
Type it in English letters and choose from the Arabic spellings the tool suggests. Common names come from a built-in list with their usual Arabic spelling; other names are transliterated letter by letter, and either way you can edit the Arabic freely. The name then appears in all 12 styles at once, so you choose by eye.
How do I know the Arabic spelling of my name is right?
Ask someone who reads Arabic, and do it before anything permanent such as a tattoo or an engraving. Names from other languages often have several valid Arabic spellings, because Arabic writes long vowels but usually leaves short ones out: Jennifer can be جنيفر or جينيفر. Arabic also spells sounds rather than letters, so the th of Thomas becomes ت (توماس) while the th of Matthew becomes ث (ماثيو).
Which calligraphy styles can I choose from?
Twelve, each drawn with a real font: Ruqaa (Aref Ruqaa), Naskh (Amiri, regular or bold), Nastaliq, the Persian style (Gulzar), Fatimid Kufi (Reem Kufi), and eight modern Arabic display styles — Katibeh, Rakkas, Lalezar, Blaka, Vibes, Marhey, Jomhuria and Badeen. Diwani and Thuluth are not available yet; of the classical hands here, Ruqaa and Naskh are the closest to them.
Which files can I download, and what is each one for?
The PNG comes three ways: transparent at 1000, 2000 or 4000 px, square at 1080×1080 for a profile picture or an Instagram post, and vertical at 1080×1920 for a phone wallpaper or a story. The SVG has its letters converted to outlines, so it opens in Illustrator, Inkscape or Canva without the font and scales to any size. The single-colour SVG for cutting keeps only the outlines, with no background or effects, for laser engraving, Cricut and vinyl cutters, CNC and embroidery digitising. The A4 PDF prints at 300 dpi, and the image can also be copied straight to the clipboard.
Is my name uploaded or stored anywhere?
Only if you press the optional diacritics button. Everything else, from the spelling suggestions to the finished files, happens in your browser, and nothing is uploaded. The diacritics button sends the name to Confileo's own server, where the model behind the Arabic Tashkeel tool adds the vowel marks, and nothing is stored. Check the marks before you download, because a name on its own, with no sentence around it, can be read more than one way.
Is it free?
Previewing is free, and you can start as a guest without an account. The first download of a design uses credits, like the site's other tools; downloading the same design again in another size or format, while you are still on the page, uses no more. The diacritics button uses credits too, the way the Arabic Tashkeel tool does.
Is this tool really free?
You can try it free: 5 credits without an account and 10 more, once, with a free account; they do not renew. Every tool uses credits — file tools 3 per file and the heavy ones 12. No watermark, no credit card. After the trial, Pro gives open use with no credits to count, or you can buy a credit pack.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can use the tool straight away without signing up or logging in.
Are my files safe and private?
Yes. A file sent to our servers travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is deleted automatically after processing; tools that work in your browser never upload it. We don't open, read or sell your files.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser, so it works the same on desktop, tablet and mobile with nothing to install.
