230+ Best Genie Names To Inspire You
Gallery
A Genie name comes with a magical touch as well as a nostalgic feeling towards the mystical deserts of Arabia.
Some of us may have been afraid of genies as a child. However, genies became quite popular after the release of the movie, 'Aladdin'.
The supernatural beings whose origin is in the Arabian mythology are called Djinn or genies in short. The origin of genies goes way back to 2400 BCE.
Genies have been mentioned in the Quran a couple of times even though the actual origin date is yet to be known. While genie names mostly tend to be Arabic inspired names, a lot of people from different cultures like to use them. Genies were originally not supposed to be angels or demons.
They were just spirits opposing both angels and demons. But fictionally genies can be good, evil, kind, cruel, helpful, mysterious, young, old, or anything for that matter.
When the word 'genie' comes to mind, we generally think of some creature we can summon by rubbing a lamp for granting us 3 wishes. Genies can even die or be forever trapped or turn into ashes if they break any rules.
But the rules are not the same for every genie. Some can kill, some can fall in love and some can even bring back the dead without having to face consequences. Genies can come in any shape or form.
While a lot of them can be controlled in a lamp, a lot of them are free and have free will. But there might be a lot of risks in taking help or working with/for a genie.
Many times, a human might have to sacrifice something in order to take the favor. Sacrifices can be a decreased lifespan, lose someone precious, lose something precious, or not being able to go to either hell or heaven.
But our knowledge of genies has changed a lot since the early days. We are no longer rigid about our thoughts on genies. We watch them in plays and movies, read about them, and sometimes even name our children after them.
So read on for a list of genie names from various sources. For more magical names, take a look at Magician Names and Shaman Names.
Male Genie Names
Jinn or the male genie was conceptualized in Sindh when Islam was accepted. To begin with, Jinn was not created to be either evil or good. They were believers.
