Explanation

In Islamic tradition, Yahya (John the Baptist) is the only prophet whose name was directly chosen by Allah. The name 'Yahya' means 'He who lives' or 'God is gracious', and it was specifically divinely ordained, unlike other prophets whose names were chosen by their parents or had different origins. This is mentioned in Quranic verse 19:7.
