Icra is Arabic, Urdu in Origin.

Icra is a rare modern given name, most often treated as a streamlined variant of the Arabic Iqra (also spelled Ikra), from the triliteral root q-r-'. The name means "to read, recite" and echoes the opening word of the first Qur'anic revelation (Iqra' bismi rabbika), which helped propel its use from the late 20th century onward in Arabic-speaking countries and wider Muslim communities across South Asia, Turkey, and the diaspora.

Common variants include Iqra, Ikra, Ikraa, Ekra, and the Turkish form İkra. While the spelling Icra appears, note that in Turkish and Azerbaijani icra is a common noun meaning "performance; execution; enforcement" and has not been a traditional given name; there the letter c is pronounced like English j. Parents may adopt Icra as a distinctive, simplified transliteration of Iqra/Ikra. Usage is predominantly feminine, and the name remains uncommon in official statistics, giving it a crisp, contemporary feel.
