Parents prefer religious baby names in Azerbaijan, the deputy chairman of the Terminology Commission under the Cabinet of Ministers.
Sadigova said in Azerbaijan, Ali, Hasan and Huseyn are the most popular names given to baby boys and Fatima, Zeyneb to baby girls.
“Even a citizen appealed to us that he wants to name his girl as Sayyid Zeyneb. He was a religious man. The girl was finally named as Zeyneb,” she added.
Sadigova said in Azerbaijan religious names dominate among historical and modern names. “For example, the names of 500 out of 1,000 boys are Ali,” she stressed.
