The baby name Ibrahima is a boy name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ib-rah-HEE-mah.
Ibrahima is Arabic, Hebrew in Origin.
Ibrahima is a West African masculine form of Arabic Ibrāhīm, the Qur'anic name of Abraham. Arabic took it from Hebrew Avraham, preceded in Genesis by Avram. The older elements are av, father, and ram, high or exalted; Avraham was later interpreted in the biblical phrase av hamon as father of a multitude. The final -a reflects regional West African pronunciation and French-influenced spelling, not a separate Arabic ending.
In Senegal, Mali, Guinea, and neighboring countries, the name is common among Muslim families, alongside Ibrahim, Brahim, and Ebrahim. Its religious importance rests on Ibrahim as a prophet in Islam and Abraham as patriarch in Judaism and Christianity. French-speaking West Africa has associated the form with scholars and public figures, including Senegalese Tijani leader Ibrāhīm Niasse. In the United States, SSA records it mainly from the 1990s onward.
