If you are looking for a strong and significant name for your son, Ikrimah is a standout choice. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Female Pigeon', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Ikrimah has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Ikrimah, like Ikrama, comes from the Arabic word for “dove.” Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl was a companion who embraced Islam after long opposing it, and was martyred asking to be positioned facing the enemy.
