What is the Real Name of Jinn?

Published in Islamic Beliefs 1 min read

There isn't a single "real name" for all jinn; rather, different terms are used depending on the context and their relationship with humans.

Here's a breakdown of the terms used to describe jinn based on the provided information:

  • Jinni: This is the general term used when referring to jinn in their purely individual capacity. This is the most general and encompassing term.

  • Aamar (plural: Amaar): This term is used to describe jinn that live among mankind. It implies a certain level of interaction or co-existence.

  • Arwaah: This term refers to jinn that antagonize the young. It suggests a specific type of harmful interaction.

Therefore, depending on the context, one might use "jinni," "aamar," or "arwaah" to describe a jinn, and none of these can be considered a universal "real name."
