Shariah refers to a comprehensive system of divine guidance in Islam, encompassing ethical, moral, and legal dimensions, rather than being limited to Islamic law, guidance, and regulations. It has been used as a given name, particularly in Muslim communities, to signify the adherence to Islamic principles. The use of the name Shariah has fluctuated in popularity over the years, peaking in 2009 with 49 occurrences per million births in the United States. Despite its varying popularity, the name remains significant as it reflects the importance of Islamic law and guidance in the lives of Muslims.
