What is the meaning of the name Badran ?

The baby name Badran is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˈbædræn/; respelling: 'BAD-ran' or 'BAHD-rahn' (Arabic: بدران).

Badran is Arabic in Origin.

Rooted in Arabic, Badran (Badrān) derives from badr, “full moon,” a classic image of radiance and beauty in pre-Islamic and Islamic poetry. With the -ān ending - read either as a dual marker or an augmentative - the name can be understood literally as “two full moons” and idiomatically as “very moon-bright,” suggesting abundance, brilliance, and good fortune.

Used as a masculine given name and a family name, Badran appears across the Levant, Iraq, and the Arabian Peninsula, and in North African and diaspora communities; the spelling Badrán is common in Spanish-speaking countries due to Levantine migration. It appears as a tribal or clan surname as well as a personal name borne by scholars, public officials, and athletes. Variants and related forms include Badr, Badra (feminine), Badri, Badraan/Badrān, Badrane/Bedran, and the theophoric Badr al-Din (Badruddin). Nicknames may shorten to Badr.
