The Quran is divided into 30 Juz’ and 114 surahs, among the 114 surahs there are six surahs names that are derived from the animal species names such as al-Baqarah (The Heifer or Female Cow), al-An'am (The Cattle), al-Nahl (The Bees), al-Naml (The Ants), al-Ankabut (The Spiders) and al-Fil (The Elephants). This study examines the Symbolism of Fauna in Naming Surah in the Qur'an from the perspective of the Semiotic Studies. The purpose of this study is to describe the symbols found in the al-Baqarah, al-An'am, al-Ankabut, al-Nahl, al-Naml, al-Ankabut and al-Fil. This research is a qualitative study, which is a study conducted to explain and describe a phenomenon with utilizing a meticulous data collection strategy. The study objective is to analyze and describe the symbolism of fauna contained in the naming of the surah in the Qur'an. In this case, the researcher classifies the verses contained in the surah that borrow the name of fauna in the Qur'an then sorts them according to several types prior conducting analysis on the verses us-ing the study of semiotics.
