The name Iqtidar is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Power, authority', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

Pronounced as Iqtidar, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Iqtidar comes from the Arabic root q-d-r, the same root behind Qadir, meaning “to have power.” It is translated as “authority.”
