Ibri is Hebrew in Origin.

Ibri is a Hebrew name (Ivri, עִבְרִי) deriving from the Semitic root ʿ-b-r “to cross, pass over.” It denotes “Hebrew,” “one from the other side,” or “the crosser,” echoing the idea of migration across a boundary or river. The form Ibri reflects a common transliteration variant of Ivri; related spellings include Ivry and Ibry. Cognate concepts tie the name to Ever/Eber (ʿÉver), the ancestral figure associated with the ethnonym “Hebrew.” In Arabic, ʿIbrī can function as a descriptor meaning “Hebrew” or as a nisba surname linked to the Omani town of Ibri, though it is rare as a given name there.

The name appears in the Hebrew Bible as a personal name among the Levites (1 Chronicles 24:27) and as an epithet for Abraham (“Avram ha-Ivri”). Modern usage is uncommon but recognized in Israel, sometimes chosen for its succinct, heritage-rich sound; it can be treated as unisex.
