What is the meaning of the name Idrisi ?

Idrisi is Arabic in Origin.

Idrisi derives from the Arabic nisba Idrīsī (إدريسي), a lineage/formational adjective built from the personal name Idris. It literally means “of Idris” or “descended from Idris,” and historically marked affiliation to the Prophet Idris (often equated with Enoch) or to Idris I of Morocco, eponym of the Idrisid dynasty. The name entered wide use as a byname and surname across the Maghreb and al‑Andalus and appears in classical scholarship - most famously with the 12th‑century geographer al‑Idrisi - then spread through Arabic- and Persianate cultures into the wider Muslim world.

As a modern given name, Idrisi carries connotations of lineage and learning: Idris is commonly linked to the Arabic root d‑r‑s “to study,” yielding senses like “studious” or “learned.” Variants include Idrissi, El‑Idrissi, al‑Idrisi, Idreesi, and Idrisy; the fully vocalized form is Idrīsī.
