What is the meaning of the name Ikraam ?

The baby name Ikraam is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ɪkˈraːm/ (ik-RAAM).

Ikraam is Arabic in Origin.

Ikraam (Arabic: إكرام) stems from the Semitic root K‑R‑M, denoting generosity, nobility, and honor. In classical Arabic it is a verbal noun meaning “honoring, veneration, hospitality” and features in the Qur’anic epithet Dhū l‑Jalāli wa‑l‑Ikrām (“Lord of Majesty and Honor,” 55:27, 78). The concept underpins Arab social ideals such as ikrām al-ḍayf, the honoring of guests, giving the name a moral, aspirational nuance.

Used throughout the Muslim world from the medieval period to the present, Ikraam is a unisex given name - more commonly masculine in Arabic, Turkish, and Urdu contexts, yet also borne by women in North and East Africa and the diaspora. Common variants and transliterations include Ikram, Ikrām, Ekram, and Iqram; Turkish uses İkram. Related names from the same root are Karim/Karima and Akram. The name conveys respectability, generosity of spirit, and dignified kindness.
