Idriz is Arabic in Origin.
Idriz is a South Slavic/Albanian form of Idris, ultimately from Arabic Idrīs (إدريس), the name of a prophet in the Qur’an often equated with Enoch. Etymology is debated, but most link it to the Arabic root d-r-s “to study, read,” giving senses such as “studious,” “learner,” or “instructor.” The name carries scholarly and pious overtones in Islamic tradition.
Brought to the Balkans through Ottoman influence, Idriz has long been used among Bosniaks, Albanians, and other Muslim communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Montenegro, and it persists in the diaspora. Variants include Idris (Arabic/English), İdris (Turkish), Idrees (South Asian), Driss/Idriss (Maghrebi/French), and Idrissa (West African). Notable bearers include freedom fighter Idriz Seferi and linguist Idriz Ajeti, reinforcing the name’s association with learning and resolve.
