Popularity

Ibrahim did not appear on the US charts until 1990, mainly due to the fact that the United States has never had a large Arab population. However, now that Muslims make up about 4% of the American population, we are beginning to see more and more names of Arabic origin creep onto the charts. Names like Fatima have enjoyed crossover appeal, but names like Mohamed and Ibrahim are fairly restricted to the Arab-American community.
