Umm Salama, Mother of the Believers, was called Hind bint Abi Umayya; a woman of great judgement, she advised the Prophet ﷺ at al-Hudaybiya, and her advice resolved the situation (al-Bukhari 2731). Hind bint ʿUtba, the wife of Abu Sufyan, embraced Islam at the conquest of Mecca.
Hind is one of the oldest Arabic feminine names. Lexicographers explain hind as a herd of about a hundred camels, a sign of wealth in ancient Arabia; it is also the Arabic name of India. The name was common before Islam and has remained so, especially in the Maghreb and the Levant.
