Isms from the Encyclopaedia of Islam, 2nd Edition
by Basil Dragonstrike



I have listed here all the isms found in my collected names from The Encyclopaedia of Islam, 2nd Edition. The female isms have been put first.
Note that I have alphabetized the names (except for putting female names first) and have ignored ʻayn and hamza (ʼ), and the prefix "al-" in doing so.
Also note that some names are very popular, and giving all the dates would overstuff this list; such dates are given as "from ____ to ____". No gaps of over 150 years exists in any such situation.
