Meaning of the name Ghizlan

Ghizlan is the plural of ghazal, “gazelle”, from the root gh-z-l. Arab poets made the gazelle the image of grace, lightness and beautiful eyes, and the poetic genre of love is called ghazal. The name, a plural, is mostly Moroccan; it is written Ghizlane or Rizlane.

Is Ghizlan in the Quran?

The name Ghizlan does not appear as such in the Quran, but its root (غ ز ل) occurs once. Examples:

وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّتِى نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِنۢ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَٰثًا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَٰنَكُمْ دَخَلًۢا بَيْنَكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِىَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ مَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ ۝٩٢

And do not be like she who untwisted her spun thread after it was strong [by] taking your oaths as [means of] deceit between you because one community is more plentiful [in number or wealth] than another community. Allāh only tries you thereby. And He will surely make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection that over which you used to differ.

Surah An-Nahl, Verse 92
