What is the meaning of the name Imran, and is it recommended to name males with it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Imran is a foreign name whose meaning cannot be determined. It is like other prophetic names; these names are transmitted as they are, and our actions are not dependent on knowing their meaning or derivation. Ignorance of them does no harm. The name Imran is among the good names, and companions and righteous predecessors, such as Imran ibn Husayn, were named after it.
