Meaning and origin of Nurul
Nurul is the Arabic nūr al-, meaning light of, and it forms the first half of compounds such as Nurul Huda, light of guidance, and Nurul Islam. In Malaysia and Indonesia it is mostly given to girls, as with Nurul Izzah. Bangladeshi families, by contrast, use compounds such as Nurul Amin for boys.
