The Aesthetic Sense of Names in the Household of Prophet's Lifestyle

In every culture, names have a symbolic and etymological meaning and are indicative of the different values of society and name giver’s emotions, needs, insight and characters. Relying on the source of names, they have a key role in providing individuals and society with education, and in deciding whether or not they sound respectable, and, generally speaking, they play a major role in man’s personal and social life. The cultural viewpoints serves as a descriptive backing of names and a basis for choosing and applying them, whether or not the name giver is aware of the meaning of the name which he/she chooses for his/her child. Some adopt cultural views which are in favour of strange-sounding names and consider this act as a naturalistic nature of human and tend to imitate it accurately. Therefore, beauty assumes different meanings according to different insights and characters and it should be defined within its specific cultural context. Using a historical method and based on the available sources and written documents, this paper investigates the idea of beauty in light of the lifestyle of the prophet’s household concerning how they named their children. Three focal points are considered in this the relationship with God, the relationship with society and the relationship with nature. The approach to spirituality and social and personal vitality is used. Thus, making a statistical contrast between these three points, the paper expounds the way of choosing names, and criticizing the theory of ‘naturalism’’, it shows the great natural beauty which names have.
