Lo🥀 :
there are also names with little to no arabic or islamic influence like Damel or Alpha or Penda and Dior or Gnilane. We do have the west africanised arabic names but we also have names we name our kids that are deeply rooted in our history of it being a national or tribal icon or with its own meaning within our languages, we also share loads of names due to how intergrated differing tribes of shared kingdoms or communities opperated which is why i never understand tribalism withitn francophone west africa, we have always been multi ethnic in kingdoms for centuries.

Although this was meant to only show the basic ones, I love hearing the more complex ones such as Sidiki which was the name given to Abubakr after the Prophet’s return from Al-Isra Wal Miraj the Night Voyage which means he who accepts the truth. Illimane which can be found in Senegal which comes from Al-Imam meaning the Imam. In senegal the word for Imam is simply Illimane (like the footballer Illimane Ndiaye). Fosseni and Sanata, this name is commonly given to twins in Muslims parts of francophone west Africa coming from Hussein and Hassan which were the beloved grandsons of the prophet peace be upon him and the sons of his daughter Fatima. Talking about Fatima, the name Binta comes from Fatima because Bint means daughter of, so all Fatima’s are also called Binta…

Danjuma is a popular Hausa name for boys. "Dan" = son.. so "son of Friday". The days of the week are borrowed from Arabic. Danlad (Danlahad) is another popular one, for boys born on Sunday. Prefixes aren't used for the girl variants so girls are simply called Jummai, Laraba, Laad, Asabe, etc.
