Alternate Spellings

Namra is a feminine title rich in history, originating from Arabic roots. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Leopard; Tigress', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Namra comes from the same Arabic root n-m-r as Anmar, meaning "leopard" or "tigress."

Reference Profile

Etymology

Related to the Arabic root ن-م-ر (n-m-r, 'tiger, leopard'); glossed in some regional usage as a feminine form.

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.

Cultural / Regional Usage

Used across the Muslim world, particularly as a girl's name.
