Imraan
Imraan Origin and Meaning
Imraan is a masculine name of Arabic origin, a variant of Imran, which appears in both the Quran and Bible. In Islamic tradition, Imran was the father of Mary (mother of Jesus), while in the Quran, the third chapter is titled 'Al Imran.' The name means 'prosperity' or 'progress' in Arabic. Imraan, with its double-vowel spelling, represents a phonetic adaptation common in South Asian Muslim communities, particularly in India, Pakistan, and South Africa. The name carries connotations of spiritual significance, leadership, and family honor across various Muslim cultures. While maintaining its traditional roots, Imraan has gained international recognition through diaspora communities. The name's flowing pronunciation with emphasis on the second syllable gives it a melodic quality. As a cross-cultural name, Imraan bridges Arabic origins with South Asian naming traditions.
