Akhlaq meaning
Akhlaq (اخلاق) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
Moral qualities, manners, virtues (plural of khulq)
Also used to mean: morality, good manners
Akhlaq (اخلاق) is the Arabic akhlāq, the plural of khulq, "nature, character". Steingass's Persian dictionary, which records the word as it is used in Persian and Urdu, gives it as manners, virtues and ethics. In Urdu, akhlāq is the everyday word for good conduct and courtesy. The singular appears in the Quran's praise of the Prophet's "great character" (68:4). Name lists give Akhlaq as "morality" or "good manners". The Urdu poet Shahryar was born Kunwar Akhlaq Mohammed Khan.
