Imran is Arabic in Origin.
Imran is the Arabic name ʿImrān (عِمْرَان), derived from the Semitic root ʿ-m-r, which conveys ideas of inhabiting, building, and flourishing. It is commonly interpreted to mean “prosperity,” “populous/long-lived,” or “one who builds up.” In the Qur’an, Āl ʿImrān (“The Family of Imran”) honors Imran as the father of Maryam (Mary); in Islamic tradition the father of Moses and Aaron is also called ʿImrān, corresponding to the biblical Amram, making the name deeply tied to prophetic lineage.
Used across the Arabic-speaking world, Iran, South Asia, Turkey, the Balkans, and Southeast Asia, Imran gained broad modern visibility through figures such as Pakistan’s Imran Khan. Spellings vary by language: Imran and ʿImrān are standard; Emran/Emraan common in Persian, Urdu, and Bengali contexts; Omran/Umran reflect dialectal vowels and are also used as surnames; Turkish has İmran (and related Ümran). Related cognates include the Hebrew Amram. The name is predominantly masculine.
