Ibrahim
From Hebrew, the Arabic form of Abraham, carrying the sense "father of multitude". Still rare in Poland, where most people have never met one, but it's given a little more each year, always to boys.
Ibrahim Pronunciation
Ibrahim is pronounced eeb-RAH-kheem (/ibˈraxim/).
What Ibrahim means
Where Ibrahim comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Ibrahim comes from the Hebrew name Avraham, built on av, meaning father, and a second element read as a multitude of nations. Arabic took the name into its own sound as Ibrahim, and it is by that route that most people who carry it received it. The short meaning stays close to the old one: father of a multitude.
The Quran gives Ibrahim his own sura, the fourteenth, named for him. There he is the prophet who breaks with idols and is promised descendants beyond counting. That is a large promise. The same idea sits inside the Hebrew name from centuries before.
In Poland the name usually arrives with families whose roots reach toward the Arabic world. A teacher reading the class register might meet one Ibrahim among the Jakubs and Adams, and the name stays there without translation. It keeps its meaning plainly: ojciec narodów, father of nations.
