Ibrahim
Ibrahim Origin and Meaning
Well used by Muslim parents across the world, Ibrahim is the Arabic variation of Abraham.

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.
