Ibn is a masculine name of Arabic origin that literally means 'son of' or 'son.' Rather than functioning primarily as a standalone first name, Ibn traditionally serves as a patronymic element in Arabic naming conventions, appearing between a person's given name and their father's name (as in 'Ahmad ibn Muhammad,' meaning 'Ahmad, son of Muhammad'). However, in some contexts, particularly in modern usage or in diaspora communities, Ibn has occasionally been adopted as a given name. The name carries cultural significance in Islamic traditions, appearing frequently in historical texts and religious contexts. While uncommon as a standalone first name in most countries, including Arab nations where it's more commonly used in its traditional patronymic function, Ibn may appeal to parents seeking a name with direct connections to Arabic linguistic heritage and Islamic cultural traditions.

The name Ibn peaked for boys at #1764 in 1979. The name is most popular in IBN, IBN, and IBN.
