About Ibrahim
Well used by Muslim parents across the world, Ibrahim is the Arabic variation of Abraham. Significant in multiple religions and with an international and well-travelled feel about it, Ibrahim has been in the US Top 1000 since the 1990s, and is currently popular in Azerbaijan, France, the UK, and Turkey.
A significant figure in The Quran, Ibrahim/Abraham fulfilled all the trials and commandments of God, and was therefore cared for throughout his life. He is viewed as a model of unwavering faith without becoming an idolater.
Meaning "multitudes" or "father of man", Ibrahim is a powerful name that also feels very wearable. With sounds that are both zippy and serious, it is a versatile choice too.
Notable namesakes include soccer megastar Zlatan Ibrahimovic, peace activist, Ibrahim Abu el-Hawa; writer Laila Ibrahim; Ibrahim Abboud, the first president of Sudan and Kurdish writer, Ibrahim Ahmam, just to name a few.
