إكليل
Iklil (إكليل) is a historically attested Arabic noun meaning 'crown' or 'wreath' and is occasionally used as a feminine given name among Muslims who prefer classical-Arabic vocabulary names. The term appears across Arabic literature and lexicons as an object denoting honor or a decorative garland; as a name it conveys dignity, elevation, and poetic imagery. It is not a Quranic proper name and thus has no direct Surah:Ayah reference, but it is fully consistent with Islamic naming principles that favor good meanings. In onomastic practice the name pairs well with names that evoke regality or ornamentation; related names include [[Taj]] (meaning 'crown') and [[Durrah]] (meaning 'pearl'). Iklil remains very rare in modern usage, more likely chosen in Arabic-speaking or literary families seeking a classical, understated female name.
