Since the Muslim conquest of the Indus Valley, the majority of Pakistani given names are derived from Persian, Arabic and Turkish names. Children may be given one, two or rarely three names at birth. If the person has more than one given name, one of them is chosen as the person's most called name, by which he is called or referred to informally. Generally for males, Muhammad, the name of the last prophet of Islam, is chosen to be the person's first given name, if he has more than one. Because of the prevalence of this practice, this name is usually not the person's most called name, as it does not serve as a unique identifier. Ali is the 2nd most common given name for males in Pakistan. Female names tend to be more mixed and are usually given two names.<ref>"Pakistani name", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_name, 8 March 2021.</ref> | *Since the Muslim conquest of the Indus Valley, the majority of Pakistani given names are derived from '''Persian, Arabic and Turkish names'''. | ||
